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.

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 ...

Peptidomics of Neuropeptidergic Tissues of the Tsetse Fly Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 2015
Neuropeptides and peptide hormones are essential signaling molecules that regulate nearly all physiological processes. The recent release of the tsetse fly genome allowed the construction of a detailed in silico neuropeptide database (International Glossina Genome Consortium, Science 344, 380-386 (2014)), as well as an in-depth mass spectrometric ...

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).

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

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 ...

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.

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.
