Composition of the peritrophic matrix of the tsetse fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans
Cell and Tissue Research, 1996The three-layered peritrophic matrix of Glossina morsitans morsitans is shown, by histochemistry, to be formed of a mixture of glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins and chitin. In all three layers the glycosaminoglycans contain GlcNAc-hexuronic and Gal-GlcNAc moieties, together with chitin.

Effect of Two Chemosterilants on Glossina morsitans
Nature, 1964THE use of sterile males offers a theoretical advantage over the use of insecticides in insect control1. This advantage is greater in the control of low-density pest species such as the screw-worm2. The sterile male technique has therefore been suggested for the control of tsetse flies, and Potts3 examined the effects of γ-radiation on tsetse fly pupae.

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 ...

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.

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

Probing by Glossina morsitans morsitans and Transmission of Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981Successive probings on nine mice each by 32 Glossina morsitans morsitans infected with Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense resulted in 54% of the mice (156/288) becoming parasitemic. A second trial with 25 surviving infected flies resulted in transmission by probing to 37.3% (84/225) of the host mice.

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.

Octopamine distribution in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1985Tissues of Glossina morsitans were assayed for octopamine using an enzymatic technique. Octopamine was detected at the highest concentration in the brain (7.06-7.99 ng mg-1 tissue protein) and thoracic ganglion (10.9-13.89 ng mg-1 tissue protein). Octopamine was present in haemolymph at a concentration of 1.0-1.27 X 10(-7) M. This was not found to vary

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.

Mortality in adult tsetse, Glossina morsitans morsitans, caused by entomopathogenic bacteria
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1989Mortality in adult tsetse, Glossina morsitans morsitans, caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus sphaericus, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis H-14, B. thuringiensis 1, B. thuringiensis 5, B. thuringiensis var. insraelensis, and Providentia rettgeri was determined.
