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

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.

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

Caryotype de Glossina palpalis gambiensis, Vanderplank, 1949. Comparaison avec d'autres espèces du groupe palpalis et du groupe morsitans

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1974
Glossina palpalis gambiensis possède, comme les autres espèces du sous-genre Nemorhina (Groupe palpalis), quatre autosomes (2 L1 + 2 L2) et deux chromosomes sexuels (XX ou XY).

Improving the cost-effectiveness of visual devices for the control of riverine tsetse flies, the major vectors of human African trypanosomiasis. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
Control of the Riverine (Palpalis) group of tsetse flies is normally achieved with stationary artificial devices such as traps or insecticide-treated targets.

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 ...

Note sur des essais d\u27immunisation de lapins contre des tsé-tsé, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Diptera : Glossinidae) [PDF]

, 1990
Immunisation of rabbits against tsetse flies was attempted by injecting homogenized intestines or crops of these flies (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) together with Freund’s complete or incomplete adjuvant.
