Bovine trypanosomosis, vector distribution and infection rate in three districts of Gamo Zone, southwestern Ethiopia [PDF]

Parasite Epidemiology and Control
African animal trypanosomosis is one of the main obstacles to the development of livestock and agricultural output in Ethiopia. It usually results in a severe, frequently fatal sickness, and the infected animals were more weakened as the disease progress

Serological responses and biomarker evaluation in mice and pigs exposed to tsetse fly bites [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Tsetse flies are obligate blood-feeding insects that transmit African trypanosomes responsible for human sleeping sickness and nagana in livestock.

Prevalence of Spiroplasma and interaction with wild Glossina tachinoides microbiota

Parasite, 2023
Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are vectors of the tropical neglected diseases sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals. The elimination of these diseases is linked to control of the vector.

Characterization and Tissue Tropism of Newly Identified Iflavirus and Negeviruses in Glossina morsitans morsitans Tsetse Flies

Viruses, 2021
Tsetse flies cause major health and economic problems as they transmit trypanosomes causing sleeping sickness in humans (Human African Trypanosomosis, HAT) and nagana in animals (African Animal Trypanosomosis, AAT).

An update on the distribution of Glossina (tsetse flies) at the wildlife-human-livestock interface of Akagera National Park, Rwanda

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Glossina (tsetse flies) biologically transmit trypanosomes that infect both humans and animals. Knowledge of their distribution patterns is a key element to better understand the transmission dynamics of trypanosomosis.

Near-infrared imaging for automated tsetse pupae sex sorting in support of the sterile insect technique

Parasite, 2023
Tsetse flies are the cyclical vectors of African trypanosomes and one of several methods to manage this vector is the sterile insect technique (SIT). The ability to determine the sex of tsetse pupae with the objective to separate the sexes before adult ...

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for the tsetse species Glossina brevipalpis and preliminary population genetics analyses

Parasite, 2023
Tsetse flies, the vectors of African trypanosomes are of key medical and economic importance and one of the constraints for the development of Africa.

Interactions Between Tsetse Endosymbionts and Glossina pallidipes Salivary Gland Hypertrophy Virus in Glossina Hosts [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Tsetse flies are the sole cyclic vector for trypanosomosis, the causative agent for human African trypanosomosis or sleeping sickness and African animal trypanosomosis or nagana. Tsetse population control is the most efficient strategy for animal trypanosomosis control.

Impact of tiny targets on Glossina fuscipes quanzensis, the primary vector of human African trypanosomiasis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

bioRxiv, 2020
Background Over the past 20 years there has been a >95% reduction in the number of Gambian Human African trypanosomiasis (g-HAT) cases reported globally, largely as a result of large-scale active screening and treatment programmes.

Conséquences des antibiotiques sur le repas de sang de certaines espèces de glossines

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1994
Les auteurs rapportent une diminution de la productivité de 2 colonies auto-entretenues de Glossina palpalis palpalis et de G. tachinoides maintenues in vivo sur des lapins dont l'alimentation comportait 2 antibiotiques : l'oxytétracycline et la ...
