Comparative gamma-radiation sensitivity of Glossina tachinoides Westw., Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newst. and Glossina brevipalpis Newst. (Diptera, Glossinidae)

International Journal of Radiation Biology, 1996
The effect of gamma-radiation doses ranging between 10 and 180 Gy on 4-6-day-old adult males of Glossina tachinoides, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes and Glossina brevipalpis was studied. Fecundity of their mates was reduced by 95% following exposure to 120, 80-100 and 50 Gy of adult male G. tachinoides, G. f. fuscipes and G.

The tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Diptera: Glossina) harbours a surprising diversity of bacteria other than symbionts

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2011
Three different bacterial species are regularly described from tsetse flies. However, no broad screens have been performed to investigate the existence of other bacteria in this medically and agriculturally important vector insect. Utilising both culture dependent and independent methods we show that Kenyan populations of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes ...

Description of a mono-screen trap for Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead in Uganda

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1991
A low-cost mono-screen trap for Glossina fuscipes fuscipes suitable for use by a rural community in Uganda is described. The trap has a single blue/black screen and a cone made from mosquito netting. The supporting framework is made from indigenous plant materials. The differences in trap catches between the mono-screen, biconical, pyramidal and vavoua

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

Insect Science
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. The discovery of

Modelling the trappability of tsetse, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, in relation to distance from their natural habitats

Ecological Modelling, 2001
Abstract The log–logistic probability distribution function was employed to model trappability of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, with respect to distance from the edge of two types of habitat. The parameters of the model were obtained using the nonlinear maximum likelihood approach.

Peridomestic breeding sites of "Glossina fuscipes fuscipes" Newst. in Busoga, Uganda, and epidemiological implications for trypanosomiasis

Acta tropica, 1986
A search for Glossina fuscipes fuscipes puparia near homesteads in the sleeping sickness focus of Busoga revealed puparia and puparial shells under Coffea canephora (coffee), Musa sp. (banana) and Lantana camara thickets as well as under house verandahs and, once, inside a hut. This is the first description of G.f.

A cytogenetical study of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes including a comparison of the polytene chromosome maps with those of Glossina austeni (Diptera, Glossinidae)

Genetica, 1976
The male meiotic sequence is described for the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes together with the polytene chromosome maps and all principal cytological markers. The diploid chromosome number is 2n=6 and includes a pair of large submetacentric autosomes (L1), a shorter pair of metacentric autosomes (L2), and an X and Y which constitute a ...

Identification of Glossina morsitans morsitans odorant binding proteins genes in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes: a preliminary study

Journal of Agriculture, Science and Technology, 2015
Tsetse flies are vectors of trypanosome parasites, causative agents of Trypanosomiasis in humans and animals. Odorant Binding Proteins (OBPs) are critical in insect olfaction as they bind volatile odours from the environment and transport them to receptors within olfactory receptor neurons for processing providing critical information for host ...

Analysis of the mating scar pattern of Glossina palpalis palpalis (Rob.-Desv.) and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead (Diptera: Glossinidae).

Annales de la Societe belge de medecine tropicale, 1996
An analysis was made of the mating scar pattern of female Glossina palpalis palpalis Robineau-Desvoidy and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead. Measurements on fifty permanent preparations of the mating scars of females reared in the laboratory revealed significant differences in the length, width and in the distance between the centers of the mating ...
