Impact of Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus (GpSGHV) on a heterologous tsetse fly host, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the vectors of African trypanosomosis, the causal agent of sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals.

Field responses of Glossina pallidipes and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes tsetse flies to Novel Repellent Blend and Waterbuck Repellent Compounds in Kenya. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Control of tsetse flies constitutes a cornerstone of trypanosomiasis control and elimination efforts in Africa. The use of eco-friendly odor-based bait technologies has been identified as a safer method for control of tsetse flies. These technologies are

Patterns of Genome-Wide Variation in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Tsetse Flies from Uganda [PDF]

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
The tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Gff) is the insect vector of the two forms of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) that exist in Uganda. Understanding Gff population dynamics, and the underlying genetics of epidemiologically relevant phenotypes

Population genetics of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes from southern Chad [PDF]

Peer Community Journal, 2023
In Subsaharan Africa, tsetse flies (genus Glossina) are vectors of trypanosomes causing Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) and Animal African Trypanosomosis (AAT).

Infection with endosymbiotic Spiroplasma disrupts tsetse (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) metabolic and reproductive homeostasis. [PDF]

PLoS Pathog, 2021
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) house a population-dependent assortment of microorganisms that can include pathogenic African trypanosomes and maternally transmitted endosymbiotic bacteria, the latter of which mediate numerous aspects of their host’s ...

Sticky small target: an effective sampling tool for tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead, 1910 [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Small targets comprising panels of blue and insecticide-treated black netting material each 0.25 × 0.25 m have been shown to attract and kill Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead, 1910 (Diptera: Glossinidae) thereby reducing its population ...

Limited impact of vector control on the population genetic structure of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes from the sleeping sickness focus of Maro, Chad [PDF]

Parasite
Tsetse flies (genus Glossina) transmit deadly trypanosomes to human populations and domestic animals in sub-Saharan Africa. Some foci of Human African Trypanosomiasis due to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (g-HAT) persist in southern Chad, where a program ...

Comparative genomics and transcriptomics of the Spiroplasma glossinidia strain sGff reveal insights into host interaction and trypanosome resistance in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Tsetse (Glossina spp.) are vectors of African trypanosomes, the causative agents of Human and African Animal trypanosomiases, diseases that remain significant medical and socioeconomic challenges in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to trypanosomes, tsetse
