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 ...

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 ...

Répartition des glossines dans la zone d'action agropastorale de Yérémo en République centrafricaine

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1994
Sous l’effet de divers facteurs, le cheptel zébu Mbororo de la RCA s’est considérablement accru durant ces dernières années (2 200 000 têtes) du fait des potentialités pastorales offertes.

Bovine Trypanosomosis: Seasonal Prevalence and Vector Density in Dara District, Sidama Region, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
In the Dara district of the Sidama region, cattle production is still seriously threatened by Glossina spp. and trypanosomosis. Therefore, a sustainable community‐based tsetse and trypanosomosis control program should be put into place. ABSTRACT In sub‐Saharan Africa, animal trypanosomosis is a wasting disease that reduces livestock's health and ...

Drivers of genomic diversity and phenotypic development in early phases of domestication in Hermetia illucens

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 756-776, December 2024.
Random drift rather than selection is the primary evolutionary force driving genomic and phenotypic variation in BSF populations during early phases of domestication. Functional trade‐offs between production and fitness traits were observed in BSF populations.

Phenotypic divergence of Glossina morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in Zambia: Application of landmark‐based wing geometric morphometrics to discriminate population‐level variation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

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

Trypanosomes and gut microbiota interactions in triatomine bugs and tsetse flies: A vectorial perspective

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 253-268, September 2024.
Trypanosoma sp. presence modulates or has zero effect on gut microbiota composition. Microbiota presence modulates or has zero effect on Trypanosoma sp. growth. Vector biology of triatomine bugs and tsetse flies influences their gut microbiota composition.

The internal transcribed spacer 1 sequence polymorphism brings updates to tsetse species distribution in the northern Cameroon: Importance in planning efficient vector control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 216-226, June 2024.
Many morphologically similar tsetse species are sympatric in many areas in Africa, particularly in northern Cameroon. The length polymorphism of ITS1 fragments assessed with simple PCR and migration of amplicon on a gel helped identifying these species accurately. Sympatric species were identified in areas where only one species was originally reported,

In vitro anti‐trypanosomal activity of synthetic nitrofurantoin‐triazole hybrids against Trypanosoma species causing human African trypanosomosis

Fundamental &Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 72-83, February 2024.
Abstract Human African trypanosomosis (HAT) which is also known as sleeping sickness is caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense that is endemic in western and central Africa and T. b. rhodesiense that is endemic in eastern and southern Africa. Drugs used for treatment against HAT first stage have limited effectiveness, and the second stage drugs have ...
