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 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 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.

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 ...

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).

Molecular identification of different trypanosome species and subspecies in tsetse flies of northern Nigeria [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is caused by several species of trypanosomes including Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax, T. godfreyi, T. simiae and T. brucei. Two of the subspecies of T. brucei also cause Human African Trypanosomiasis.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of trypanosome prevalence in tsetse flies [PDF]

, 2017
Background: The optimisation of trypanosomosis control programs warrants a good knowledge of the main vector of animal and human trypanosomes in sub-Saharan Africa, the tsetse fly.
