New tsetse (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) genomes generated from wild and laboratory‐reared specimens

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1588-1596, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse (Glossina spp.) are vectors of African trypanosomes that cause devastating human and animal African trypanosomiases. While much of the research to better understand tsetse genetics and physiology relies on colony‐reared flies, these flies may not represent the genetic diversity found in natural wild populations due to their long‐term ...

Assessment of Bovine Trypanosomiasis and Tsetse Fly Density in Gechi District, Western Ethiopia. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Background: Bovine trypanosomiasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by tsetse flies, poses a significant threat to livestock health and agricultural productivity in Ethiopia, affecting millions of farmers who rely on cattle for milk, meat, and draught power.

Control of Human African Trypanosomiasis in the Nola-Bilolo Focus, Central African Republic, 2020-2024: Outcome of Capacity Building, Improved Diagnosis and Treatment. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
This study is aimed at evaluating the inclusion of miniature anion‐exchange centrifugation technique (mAECT) in the diagnosis and fexinidazole as treatment of gHAT in Central African Republic (CAR) after capacity building. A cross‐sectional pilot study was conducted during a mass diagnostic campaign from 16 September to 22 October 2022 in Nola‐Bilolo ...

A spatial genetics approach to inform vector control of tsetse flies (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) in Northern Uganda. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
AbstractTsetse flies (genus Glossina) are the only vector for the parasitic trypanosomes responsible for sleeping sickness and nagana across sub‐Saharan Africa. In Uganda, the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes is responsible for transmission of the parasite in 90% of sleeping sickness cases, and co‐occurrence of both forms of human‐infective ...

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

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1726-1736, October 2025.
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.

Vegetation and the importance of insecticide-treated target siting for control of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2011
Control of tsetse flies using insecticide-treated targets is often hampered by vegetation re-growth and encroachment which obscures a target and renders it less effective. Potentially this is of particular concern for the newly developed small targets (0.25 high × 0.5 m wide) which show promise for cost-efficient control of Palpalis group tsetse flies.

Implications of microfauna-host interactions for trypanosome transmission dynamics in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in Uganda. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2012
ABSTRACT Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are vectors for African trypanosomes (Euglenozoa: kinetoplastida), protozoan parasites that cause African trypanosomiasis in humans (HAT) and nagana in livestock. In addition to trypanosomes, two symbiotic bacteria ( Wigglesworthia glossinidia and ...

Optimizing the colour and fabric of targets for the control of the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2012
Most cases of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) start with a bite from one of the subspecies of Glossina fuscipes. Tsetse use a range of olfactory and visual stimuli to locate their hosts and this response can be exploited to lure tsetse to insecticide-treated targets thereby reducing transmission.
