Factors affecting the propensity of tsetse flies to enter houses and attack humans inside : increased risk of sleeping sickness in warmer climates [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Sleeping sickness, or human African trypanosomiasis, is caused by two species of Trypanosoma brucei that are transmitted to humans by tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) when these insects take a bloodmeal.

Using molecular data for epidemiological inference: assessing the prevalence of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense in Tsetse in Serengeti, Tanzania [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Measuring the prevalence of transmissible Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense in tsetse populations is essential for understanding transmission dynamics, assessing human disease risk and monitoring spatio-temporal trends and the impact of control ...

Amélioration de la technique de dissection du tractus digestif et des glandes salivaires des glossines pour la mise en évidence des divers stades de développement des trypanosomes

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1994
Les auteurs décrivent une technique améliorée de dissection de l'intestin moyen et des glandes salivaires des glossines. En ajoutant à la dissection le proventricule, la méthode permet d'obtenir un tableau plus complet du développement des trypanosomes ...

Standardisation et évaluation de la technique de salivation manuelle pour le dépistage des infections par trypanosomes chez la glossine (Diptera: Glossinidae)

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1995
La méthode de salivation manuelle et celle de Bruce et al, sont décrites. Elles ont été évaluées simultanément, suivant un jeûne de 24, 48 et 72 heures, sur 1 702 mouches mâles non infectées, appartenant aux sous espèces de Giossina palpalis palpalis ...

A model of teneral dehydration in Glossina [PDF]

Acta Tropica, 2014
The results of a long-established investigation into teneral transpiration are used as a rudimentary data set. These data are not complete in that all are at 25 $^\circ\mathrm{C}$ and the temperature-dependence cannot, therefore be resolved. An allowance is, nonetheless, made for the outstanding temperature-dependent data.

An insight into the sialome of Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2010
Abstract Background Blood feeding evolved independently in worms, arthropods and mammals. Among the adaptations to this peculiar diet, these animals developed an armament of salivary molecules that disarm their host's anti-bleeding defenses (hemostasis), inflammatory and immune reactions.

Site and Insemination Time of Glossina palpalis palpalis (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) in a Forest Area, Côte d’Ivoire

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2001
Spermathecae of female Glossina palpalis palpalis were examined to obtain data on their insemination. The study was conducted near the village of Zomenin in the forest area of Daloa (lat. 7-6° N, long. 7-8° W) in Côte d’Ivoire.

Explaining the host-finding behavior of blood-sucking insects : computerized simulation of the effects of habitat geometry on tsetse fly movement [PDF]

, 2014
Background Male and female tsetse flies feed exclusively on vertebrate blood. While doing so they can transmit the diseases of sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in domestic stock.
