Factors affecting the propensity of tsetse flies to enter houses and attack humans inside : increased risk of sleeping sickness in warmer climates [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Sleeping sickness, or human African trypanosomiasis, is caused by two species of Trypanosoma brucei that are transmitted to humans by tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) when these insects take a bloodmeal.

Amélioration de la technique de salivation des glossines pour la détection des métatrypanosomes infectants : étude de quelques facteurs biologiques et non biologiques sur le comportement de sondage des glossines

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1995
Le comportement de sondage et de salivation sur lame chauffée est examiné chez trois espèces ou sous-espèces de glossines (Glossina morsitans morsitans, Glossina palpalis gambiensis, Glossina tachinoides) en fonction de certains paramètres (espèce, sexe,

Characterisations of odorant-binding proteins in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]

, 2009
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play an important role in insect olfaction by mediating interactions between odorants and odorant receptors. We report for the first time 20 OBP genes in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans. qRT-PCR revealed that 8

Tryptophan metabolism in tsetse flies and the consequences of its derangement

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987
Literature comparing salmon and wild type Glossina morsitans morsitans and that comparing tan and wild type Glossina palpalis palpalis is reviewed. New information is presented on behaviour and biochemistry of salmon and wild type G. m. morsitans.

Tsetse EP protein protects the fly midgut from trypanosome establishment. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
African trypanosomes undergo a complex developmental process in their tsetse fly vector before transmission back to a vertebrate host. Typically, 90% of fly infections fail, most during initial establishment of the parasite in the fly midgut.

Expression of chemosensory proteins in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans is related to female host-seeking behaviour [PDF]

, 2011
Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are a class of soluble proteins present in high concentrations in the sensilla of insect antennae. It has been proposed that they play an important role in insect olfaction by mediating interactions between odorants and ...

Genetic differentiation of some Glossina morsitans morsitans populations [PDF]

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1999
Summary To study the population structure of Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood (Diptera: Glossinidae), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single‐strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) methods were used to estimate mitochondrial DNA diversity at four loci in six ...

Lipid metabolism dysfunction following symbiont elimination is linked to altered Kennedy pathway homeostasis

iScience, 2023
Summary: Lipid metabolism is critical for insect reproduction, especially for species that invest heavily in the early developmental stages of their offspring. The role of symbiotic bacteria during this process is understudied but likely essential.
