Polytene chromosomes of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans
Chromosoma, 1973Cytological maps have been prepared, and a detailed description is presented of all major markers in the polytene chromosomes of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans, an important vector of African trypanosomiases. Only the five eu-chromosomes in males (L1 and L2 autosome pairs plus X chromosome) and the six eu-chromosomes in females of the ...

Proventriculus-specific cDNAs characterized from the tsetse, Glossina morsitans morsitans
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002Peritrophic matrix (peritrophic membrane or PM) is an important structure in the gut of most insects at some stage in their development. It is composed of chitin, proteins and proteoglycans. Multiple roles for the PM ranging from partitioning of digestive enzymes and food to protection of gut epithelial cells from viral and parasitic invasion have been

An immunoregulatory peptide from tsetse fly salivary glands of Glossina morsitans morsitans.
Biochimie, 2015Tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans is an important insect vector of African trypanosomes, which cause human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). As other hematophagous arthropods, tsetse fly relies heavily on the pharmacological propriety of their saliva to suppress host's immune reactions and get blood meal.

Nature, 1960
CORRELATED with the viviparous type of reproduction found in the tsetse fies, the essential features of which were worked out as early as 1895 by Bruce1, there is a great reduction in the number of ovarioles. Stuhlman2 and Roubaud3 studied the anatomy of the female reproductive organs and considered that each ovary consisted of a single ovariole, a ...

The compound eye of the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans morsitans and Glossina palpalis palpalis)
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1989Abstract We have examined the retina of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans and G. palpalis using anatomical, optical, biochemical and electrophysiological techniques. The eye is basically very similar to those of other higher Diptera such as Musca and Calliphora.

Phospholipases of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1978Abstract 1. 1. Phospholipases of Glossina morsitans during pupal and adult fly developmental stages were investigated. 2. 2. Only phospholipases A and B were detectable, phospholipases C and D were not detected. 3. 3. Phospholipases A and B were affected by factors such as, pH, deoxycholate and Ca 2+ in a way similar to ...

Spectral responses of the tsetse fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1983Abstract Spectral responses of male Glossina morsitans morsitans Westw, were investigated using behavioural and electrophysiological techniques. Phototactic responses to monochromatic lights of different wavelengths but equivalent intensities (measured either in energy or quantal units) were tested in an apparatus which permitted the simultaneous ...

Storage and sexual separation ofGlossina morsitans morsitansWestwood puparia
Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1975Maintenance of unknown-age tsetse puparia at 4 degrees C for six days substantially reduced emergence; normal emergence occurred when puparia were held at temperatures of 12 degrees, 14 degrees, or 16 degrees C for two, three or four weeks, respectively.

An antimicrobial peptide with trypanocidal activity characterized from Glossina morsitans morsitans
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2005Tsetse flies (Diptera:Glossinidae) are vectors of African trypanosomes, the protozoan agents of devastating diseases in humans and animals. Prior studies in trypanosome infected Glossina morsitans morsitans have shown induced expression and synthesis of several antimicrobial peptides in fat body tissue.
