Temporal stability of
Background Glossina fuscipes, a riverine species of tsetse, is the major vector of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the population dynamics, and specifically the temporal stability, of G. fuscipes will be important

Patterns of Genome-Wide Variation in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Tsetse Flies from Uganda [PDF]
The tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Gff) is the insect vector of the two forms of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) that exist in Uganda. Understanding Gff population dynamics, and the underlying genetics of epidemiologically relevant phenotypes

Vegetation and the importance of insecticide-treated target siting for control of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes. [PDF]
Control of tsetse flies using insecticide-treated targets is often hampered by vegetation re-growth and encroachment which obscures a target and renders it less effective. Potentially this is of particular concern for the newly developed small targets (0.

Genetic diversity of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes along the shores of Lake Victoria in Tanzania and Kenya: implications for management [PDF]
Background Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are sole vectors for trypanosomiasis, which affect human health and livestock productivity in Africa. Little is known about the genetic diversity of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, which is an important species ...

The effect of age on the mating competitiveness of male Glossina fuscipes fuscipes and G. palpalis palpalis [PDF]
The effect of age on male Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, Newstead, and Glossina palpalis palpalis, Austin (Diptera: Glossinidae) competiveness were investigated with a view to estimate optimal age for sterile male release.

Optimizing the Colour and Fabric of Targets for the Control of the Tsetse Fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes [PDF]
Most cases of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) start with a bite from one of the subspecies of Glossina fuscipes. Tsetse use a range of olfactory and visual stimuli to locate their hosts and this response can be exploited to lure tsetse to insecticide-treated targets thereby reducing transmission.

Glossina from the Republic of the Congo: species identification by MALDI-TOF MS and research of associated micro-organisms [PDF]
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT), transmitted by Glossina species, remain major health and economic burdens in Africa. Accurate vector identification is essential for effective control strategies.
