Chromosome translocations inGlossina austeni
Genetical Research, 1972 SUMMARYAn autosomal translocation in the tsetse flyGlossina austeniwas studied genetically, cytogenetically and for its effects on viability. Flies homo-zygous for the structural change could be identified by outcrossing to wild-type and demonstrating semi-sterility in all the progeny.A cytogenetical analysis of male meioses in samples of pupae which ...

Long‐Term Evolution Under Heatwave Conditions in the Seed Beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Here, using the seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, we investigated the long‐term effects of evolution after 43 generations of fluctuating temperature with added heatwave exposure on two important life history traits, development time and lifetime reproductive success (LRS).

Human African trypanosomiasis amongst urban residents in Kinshasa: a case-control study. [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) cases have been reported in urban residents of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic Congo since 1996. We set up a case-control study to identify risk factors for the disease.

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 547-565, April 2026.The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 703-723, April 2026.Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.

Genome-Wide Comparative Analysis of Chemosensory Gene Families in Five Tsetse Fly Species.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 For decades, odour-baited traps have been used for control of tsetse flies (Diptera; Glossinidae), vectors of African trypanosomes. However, differential responses to known attractants have been reported in different Glossina species, hindering ...

Serratia glossinae sp. nov., isolated from the midgut of the tsetse fly Glossina palpalis gambiensis [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2010 We report the isolation of a novel bacterium, strain C1T, from the midgut of the tsetse fly Glossina palpalis gambiensis, one of the vector insects responsible for transmission of the trypanosomes that cause sleeping sickness in sub-Saharan African countries. Strain C1T is a motile, facultatively anaerobic, rod-like bacterium (0.8–1.0 μm in diameter; 2–
