Spatio-temporal distribution of Spiroplasma infections in the tsetse fly (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) in northern Uganda. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2019
Abstract Tsetse flies ( Glossina spp.) are vectors of parasitic trypanosomes, which cause human (HAT) and animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) in sub-Saharan Africa. In Uganda, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes ( Gff )

Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The median PCV of poor body‐conditioned animals is below 20 (anaemic) compared to corresponding body‐condition animals. Black‐ and red‐coloured animals are more significantly affected by trypanosomosis than white‐coloured animals. Multivariable logistic regression revealed more about contributory factors than univariable logistic regression.

The population genomics of multiple tsetse fly (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) admixture zones in Uganda. [PDF]

Mol Ecol, 2019
AbstractUnderstanding the mechanisms that enforce, maintain or reverse the process of speciation is an important challenge in evolutionary biology. This study investigates the patterns of divergence and discusses the processes that form and maintain divergent lineages of the tsetse flyGlossina fuscipes fuscipesin Uganda.

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 ...

High levels of genetic differentiation between Ugandan Glossina fuscipes fuscipes populations separated by Lake Kyoga. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008
Glossina fuscipes fuscipes is the major vector of human African trypanosomiasis, commonly referred to as sleeping sickness, in Uganda. In western and eastern Africa, the disease has distinct clinical manifestations and is caused by two different ...

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.

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 ...

Geospatial Analysis of Tsetse Infestation and Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Busia County, Kenya

Journal of Parasitology Research
African trypanosomiasis (AT) is a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma, primarily transmitted through the bite of infected tsetse flies in the genus Glossina.
