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.

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)

Implications of microfauna-host interactions for trypanosome transmission dynamics in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in Uganda. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2012
ABSTRACT Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are vectors for African trypanosomes (Euglenozoa: kinetoplastida), protozoan parasites that cause African trypanosomiasis in humans (HAT) and nagana in livestock. In addition to trypanosomes, two symbiotic bacteria ( Wigglesworthia glossinidia and ...
