Odor coding in the antenna of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Tsetse flies pose a major threat to the health and economy of sub-Saharan Africa. They transmit trypanosomes that cause African sleeping sickness in humans and a disease called nagana in livestock.

Standardising visual control devices for Tsetse: East and Central African Savannah species Glossina swynnertoni, Glossina morsitans centralis and Glossina pallidipes

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
This study focused on the savannah tsetse species Glossina swynnertoni and G. morsitans centralis, both efficient vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis in, respectively, East and Central Africa. The aim was to develop long-lasting, practical and cost-effective visually attractive devices that induce the strongest landing responses in these two ...

Diversity of Glossinidae (Diptera) species in The Gambia in relation to vegetation [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Glossina species are known to transmit African Trypanosomiasis, one of the most important infectious diseases for both livestock and humans in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize trapped Glossina spp.

Remarkable richness of trypanosomes in tsetse flies (Glossina morsitans morsitans and Glossina pallidipes) from the Gorongosa National Park and Niassa National Reserve of Mozambique revealed by fluorescent fragment length barcoding (FFLB).

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2017
Trypanosomes of African wild ungulates transmitted by tsetse flies can cause human and livestock diseases. However, trypanosome diversity in wild tsetse flies remains greatly underestimated.

High-sensitivity detection of cryptic Wolbachia in the African tsetse fly (Glossina spp.)

BMC Microbiology, 2018
In African tsetse flies Glossina, spp. detection of bacterial symbionts such as Wolbachia is challenging since their prevalence and distribution are patchy, and natural symbiont titers can range at levels far below detection limit of standard molecular ...

Trypanosoma brucei gambiense group 2 experimental in vivo life cycle: from procyclic to bloodstream form

Parasite
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (Tbg) group 2 is a subgroup of trypanosomes able to infect humans and is found in West and Central Africa. Unlike other agents causing sleeping sickness, such as Tbg group 1 and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Tbg2 lacks the ...

Variations of Glossina sp. and trypanosome species frequency within different habitats in a sleeping sickness focus, Gabon

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019
Introduction: Knowledge of the infectious status of the Glossina is an indicator of risk of resurgence of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT). Environmental conditions have an impact on the density and diversity of both vector and Trypanosoma.

The salivary secretome of the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes (Diptera: Glossinidae) infected by salivary gland hypertrophy virus. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
The competence of the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes (Diptera; Glossinidae) to acquire salivary gland hypertrophy virus (SGHV), to support virus replication and successfully transmit the virus depends on complex interactions between Glossina and SGHV ...
