Tsetse Fly Detection and Sex Classification Model Enrichment Employing YOLOv8 and YOLO11 Architecture

Applied AI Letters, Volume 6, Issue 3, October 2025.
This study developed an automated Tsetse fly sex identification and classification system using CNN‐driven mobile imaging and compared the performance of YOLOv8 and YOLO11 through a performance matrix and statistical analysis involving paired t‐tests and McNemar's test.

Feeding frequency and its associated effects on the production and survival rate of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

Ethiopian Veterinary Journal, 2023
Tsetse flies are large blood-sucking flies of the genus Glossina, which are exclusively found in Africa. They are important vectors of Trypanosomes, which cause sleeping sickness in humans and African Animal Trypanosomosis (AAT) in livestock. Due to the lack of effective vaccines to control this disease, vector control has been an ideal strategy. There

Potential of entomopathogenic fungi for Glossina austeni control: insights into microbiome alterations and implications on sustainable management of the pest

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1691-1712, October 2025.
Abstract Glossina austeni Newstead (Diptera: Glossinidae) is a competent vector of the trypanosomes causing human African trypanosomiasis and the African animal trypanosomosis. Management of this pest has primarily involved trapping methods, Sterile Insect Technique, and research into vector competence–symbiotic interactions.

Les glossines de l'agglomération brazzavilloise Congo . I. Répartition et importance des gîtes

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1986
Les auteurs font le point - historique et actuel - sur les gîtes à tsé-tsé de l'agglomération brazzavilloise. De 1980 à 1985, le parc zoologique était le seul gîte intra-urbain productif en glossines.

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 ...

Spiroplasma impairs testes gene expression in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

Abstract Glossina fuscipes fuscipes is a riverine tsetse fly species, the primary vector of human and animal trypanosomiasis in Sub-Saharan Africa. Controlling tsetse fly populations is crucial for mitigating the socio-economic impact of this disease, as effective treatments remain challenging ...

Challenging the Wigglesworthia, Sodalis, Wolbachia symbiosis dogma in tsetse flies: Spiroplasma is present in both laboratory and natural populations

Scientific Reports, 2017
Profiling of wild and laboratory tsetse populations using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing allowed us to examine whether the “Wigglesworthia-Sodalis-Wolbachia dogma” operates across species and populations. The most abundant taxa, in wild and laboratory

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 ...

Study on the Reproductive Efficiency of Glossina pallidipes and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes under Laboratory Conditions

Abstract SIT is based on the mass production, radiation-based sterilization and release of sterile male tsetse flies over a target area to suppress or locally eliminate a target tsetse population. The aim of this study was to assess the reproductive efficiency of Glossina pallidipes and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes reared under laboratory
