Spiroplasma infection in colonized Glossina fuscipes fuscipes: impact on mass rearing and the sterile insect technique

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1761-1776, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) can vector the parasites (Trypanosoma spp.) that cause the socioeconomically devastating neglected tropical diseases human and animal African trypanosomoses. In addition to this parasite, tsetse can harbor four genera of endosymbiotic bacteria, including Wigglesworthia, Sodalis, Wolbachia, and Spiroplasma, which ...

Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1476-1494, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the presence of ...

Effects of vector control on the population structure of tsetse ( Glossina fuscipes fuscipes ) in western Kenya [PDF]

Acta Tropica, 2018
Displacement rates of tsetse affect performance of targets during vector control. Fly size, one of the indicators of population structure usually obtained from wing measurement, is among the determinants of displacement rates. Although recovery of tsetse in previous intervention areas has been widely reported, the population structure of tsetse that ...

Spatiotemporal changes in prevalence of Sodalis glossinidius, Spiroplasma spp. and trypanosome species in wild Glossina tachinoides from Sora‐Mboum animal African trypanosomiasis focus in northern Cameroon

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1713-1725, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has proven effective to reduce tsetse population density in large infected areas where animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) elimination was difficult to achieve. However, the decrease in mass production of insectary‐reared tsetse and the limited but incomplete knowledge on ...

Bovine Trypanosomosis: Seasonal Prevalence and Vector Density in Dara District, Sidama Region, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
In the Dara district of the Sidama region, cattle production is still seriously threatened by Glossina spp. and trypanosomosis. Therefore, a sustainable community‐based tsetse and trypanosomosis control program should be put into place. ABSTRACT In sub‐Saharan Africa, animal trypanosomosis is a wasting disease that reduces livestock's health and ...

Drivers of genomic diversity and phenotypic development in early phases of domestication in Hermetia illucens

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 756-776, December 2024.
Random drift rather than selection is the primary evolutionary force driving genomic and phenotypic variation in BSF populations during early phases of domestication. Functional trade‐offs between production and fitness traits were observed in BSF populations.

Phenotypic divergence of Glossina morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in Zambia: Application of landmark‐based wing geometric morphometrics to discriminate population‐level variation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

Phylogeography and Population Structure of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in Uganda: Implications for Control of Tsetse

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, a riverine species of tsetse, is the main vector of both human and animal trypanosomiasis in Uganda. Successful implementation of vector control will require establishing an appropriate geographical scale for these activities.

Trypanosomes and gut microbiota interactions in triatomine bugs and tsetse flies: A vectorial perspective

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 253-268, September 2024.
Trypanosoma sp. presence modulates or has zero effect on gut microbiota composition. Microbiota presence modulates or has zero effect on Trypanosoma sp. growth. Vector biology of triatomine bugs and tsetse flies influences their gut microbiota composition.

The internal transcribed spacer 1 sequence polymorphism brings updates to tsetse species distribution in the northern Cameroon: Importance in planning efficient vector control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 216-226, June 2024.
Many morphologically similar tsetse species are sympatric in many areas in Africa, particularly in northern Cameroon. The length polymorphism of ITS1 fragments assessed with simple PCR and migration of amplicon on a gel helped identifying these species accurately. Sympatric species were identified in areas where only one species was originally reported,
