The Effects of a DNA Virus Infection on the Reproductive Potential of Female Tsetse Flies, Glossina morsitans centralis and Glossina morsitans morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae) [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998
Reproductive anomalies associated with the tsetse DNA virus infection in the female tsetse hosts, Glossina morsitans centralis Machado and Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood, inoculated with the virus during the 3rd instar larval stage were studied ...

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.

Responses of tsetse flies, Glossina morsitans morsitans and Glossina pallidipes , to baits of various size

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2011
Recent studies of Palpalis group tsetse [ Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Diptera: Glossinidae) in Kenya] suggest that small (0.25 × 0.25 m) insecticide‐treated targets will be more cost‐effective than the larger (≥1.0 × 1.0 m) designs currently used to control tsetse.

Presence of extensive Wolbachia symbiont insertions discovered in the genome of its host Glossina morsitans morsitans.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are the cyclical vectors of Trypanosoma spp., which are unicellular parasites responsible for multiple diseases, including nagana in livestock and sleeping sickness in humans in Africa.

An insight into the sialome of Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2010
Abstract Background Blood feeding evolved independently in worms, arthropods and mammals. Among the adaptations to this peculiar diet, these animals developed an armament of salivary molecules that disarm their host's anti-bleeding defenses (hemostasis), inflammatory and immune reactions.

The Spermatophore in Glossina morsitans morsitans: Insights into Male Contributions to Reproduction. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
AbstractMale Seminal Fluid Proteins (SFPs) transferred during copulation modulate female reproductive physiology and behavior, impacting sperm storage/use, ovulation, oviposition and remating receptivity. These capabilities make them ideal targets for developing novel methods of insect disease vector control. Little is known about the nature of SFPs in

The food of glossina morsitans [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1914
Abstract Five hundred flies, freshly caught in the Proclaimed Area, were killed by chloroform and the gut of each was roughly dissected out, smeared on a slide, fixed by osmic vapour and alcohol, and subsequently stained by Giemsa. The flies were all caught in the bush, away from the paths, the fly-boys proceeding in single file and ...

Expression profile of odorant receptors in brain, gut and reproductive tissues in male and female Glossina morsitans morsitans

Scientific African, 2020
Glossina morsitans morsitans are vectors of Animal African Trypanosomiasis (nagana) and Human African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). Glossina uses odorant receptors (Ors) expressed within the olfactory receptor neurons to identify chemical cues ...

Serological responses and biomarker evaluation in mice and pigs exposed to tsetse fly bites. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND: Tsetse flies are obligate blood-feeding insects that transmit African trypanosomes responsible for human sleeping sickness and nagana in livestock.

Comparative analysis of salivary gland proteomes of two Glossina species with differential hytrosavirus pathologies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus (GpSGHV; family Hytrosaviridae) is a dsDNA virus exclusively pathogenic to tsetse flies (Diptera; Glossinidae).
