Efficiencies of stationary sampling tools for the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in western Kenya

Acta Tropica, 2021
Monitoring the effectiveness of tsetse fly control interventions that aim to reduce transmission of African trypanosomiasis requires highly efficient sampling tools that can catch flies at low densities. The sticky small target (StS-target) has previously been shown to be more effective in sampling Glossina fuscipes fuscipes compared to the biconical ...

Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

Insect Science
Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations. The discovery of

Description of a mono-screen trap for Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead in Uganda

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1991
A low-cost mono-screen trap for Glossina fuscipes fuscipes suitable for use by a rural community in Uganda is described. The trap has a single blue/black screen and a cone made from mosquito netting. The supporting framework is made from indigenous plant materials. The differences in trap catches between the mono-screen, biconical, pyramidal and vavoua

A cytogenetical study of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes including a comparison of the polytene chromosome maps with those of Glossina austeni (Diptera, Glossinidae)

Genetica, 1976
The male meiotic sequence is described for the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes together with the polytene chromosome maps and all principal cytological markers. The diploid chromosome number is 2n=6 and includes a pair of large submetacentric autosomes (L1), a shorter pair of metacentric autosomes (L2), and an X and Y which constitute a ...

The Extermination of Glossina palpalis fuscipes, Newstead, by Hand Catching

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1947
Two blocks were isolated by 3– or 4–mile clearings on a small river with a narrow strip of riverine bush and a low density of Glossina palpalis fuscipes.Catchers at the rate of 6 per 1,000 yards of stream caught almost all the G. palpalis in one block in 3 months and all in 6 months.Eight months later there was ho reinfestation.All this time G ...

Modelling the trappability of tsetse, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, in relation to distance from their natural habitats

Ecological Modelling, 2001
Abstract The log–logistic probability distribution function was employed to model trappability of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, with respect to distance from the edge of two types of habitat. The parameters of the model were obtained using the nonlinear maximum likelihood approach.

Analysis of the mating scar pattern of Glossina palpalis palpalis (Rob.-Desv.) and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead (Diptera: Glossinidae).

Annales de la Societe belge de medecine tropicale, 1996
An analysis was made of the mating scar pattern of female Glossina palpalis palpalis Robineau-Desvoidy and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead. Measurements on fifty permanent preparations of the mating scars of females reared in the laboratory revealed significant differences in the length, width and in the distance between the centers of the mating ...

Peridomestic breeding sites of "Glossina fuscipes fuscipes" Newst. in Busoga, Uganda, and epidemiological implications for trypanosomiasis

Acta tropica, 1986
A search for Glossina fuscipes fuscipes puparia near homesteads in the sleeping sickness focus of Busoga revealed puparia and puparial shells under Coffea canephora (coffee), Musa sp. (banana) and Lantana camara thickets as well as under house verandahs and, once, inside a hut. This is the first description of G.f.

First record of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead, 1910 and Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead, 1910 in southwestern Saudi Arabia.

Annales de la Societe belge de medecine tropicale, 1991
Two species of tsetse flies, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes and G. morsitans submorsitans, are, for the first time, recorded from southwestern Saudi Arabia, near Gizan. This discovery is shortly discussed in relation with the presently known distribution of these species.
