The effect of age on the mating competitiveness of male Glossina fuscipes fuscipes and G. palpalis palpalis [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2003
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.

Structure of some East African Glossina fuscipes fuscipes populations [PDF]

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2008
Abstract Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead 1910 (Diptera: Glossinidae) is the primary vector of human sleeping sickness in Kenya and Uganda. This is the first report on its population structure.

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of tsetse flies of the palpalis group in Congo Brazzaville based on mitochondrial cox1 gene sequences

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Despite the morphological characterization established in the 1950s and 1960s, the identity of extant taxa that make up Glossina fuscipes (s.l.) in the Congo remains questionable. Previous claims of overlap between G.

A spatial genetics approach to inform vector control of tsetse flies (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) in Northern Uganda. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
AbstractTsetse flies (genus Glossina) are the only vector for the parasitic trypanosomes responsible for sleeping sickness and nagana across sub‐Saharan Africa. In Uganda, the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes is responsible for transmission of the parasite in 90% of sleeping sickness cases, and co‐occurrence of both forms of human‐infective ...

Assessment of Bovine Trypanosomiasis and Tsetse Fly Density in Gechi District, Western Ethiopia. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Background: Bovine trypanosomiasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by tsetse flies, poses a significant threat to livestock health and agricultural productivity in Ethiopia, affecting millions of farmers who rely on cattle for milk, meat, and draught power.

Spatio-temporal distribution of Spiroplasma infections in the tsetse fly (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) in northern Uganda. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2019
AbstractTsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are vectors of parasitic trypanosomes, which cause human (HAT) and animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) in sub-Saharan Africa. In Uganda, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Gff) is the main vector of HAT, where it transmits Gambiense disease in the northwest and Rhodesiense disease in central, southeast and western regions.

Field responses of Glossina pallidipes and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes tsetse flies to Novel Repellent Blend and Waterbuck Repellent Compounds in Kenya. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
Control of tsetse flies constitutes a cornerstone of trypanosomiasis control and elimination efforts in Africa. The use of eco-friendly odor-based bait technologies has been identified as a safer method for control of tsetse flies. These technologies are significantly augmented by development of effective repellents that reduce contact between ...

Expression of odorant co-receptor Orco in tissues and development stages of Glossina morsitans morsitans, Glossina fuscipies fuscipies and Glossina pallidipies

Scientific African, 2018
Tsetse flies (Glossina) depend on their olfactory system to identify host, larviposition sites and mates. Previous studies have characterized olfactory organs and evaluated the odorant receptor (OR) expression to host-derived chemicals.

Insights into trypanosomiasis transmission: Age, infection rates, and bloodmeal analysis of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in N.W. Uganda. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2023
Background Tsetse flies ( Glossina ) transmit species of Trypanosoma which cause human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT).

Protein abundance in the midgut of wild tsetse flies (Glossina palpalis palpalis) naturally infected by Trypanosoma congolense s.l.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 723-736, December 2023., 2023
Main functions of underexpressed proteins in infected flies: transcription/translation processes; biosynthetic and metabolic processes (ATP synthesis); and glutathione S‐transferase activity = metabolic and immune destabilisation and weakening of the fly during infection. Main functions of overexpressed proteins in infected flies (serpins as an example)
