Immunogenicity and Serological Cross-Reactivity of Saliva Proteins among Different Tsetse Species. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Tsetse are vectors of pathogenic trypanosomes, agents of human and animal trypanosomiasis in Africa. Components of tsetse saliva (sialome) are introduced into the mammalian host bite site during the blood feeding process and are important for tsetse's ...

Proteomic analysis of Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus virions for immune intervention in tsetse fly colonies [PDF]

, 2010
Many species of tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) can be infected by a virus that causes salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH). The viruses isolated from Glossina pallidipes (GpSGHV) and Musca somestica (MdSGHV) have recently been sequenced.

The occurrence of cuticular lesions (cicatrices) of Glossina species in the field

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1984
L'auteur met en évidence des différences dans le taux de cicatrisation et le taux d'usure des ailes qui sont confirmées par la corrélation avec l'âge ovarien utilisé comme échelle de temps.

Insight into the Transmission Biology and Species-Specific Functional Capabilities of Tsetse (Diptera: Glossinidae) Obligate Symbiont Wigglesworthia

mBio, 2012
Ancient endosymbionts have been associated with extreme genome structural stability with little differentiation in gene inventory between sister species.

VectorBase: improvements to a bioinformatics resource for invertebrate vector genomics. [PDF]

, 2011
VectorBase (http://www.vectorbase.org) is a NIAID-supported bioinformatics resource for invertebrate vectors of human pathogens. It hosts data for nine genomes: mosquitoes (three Anopheles gambiae genomes, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus), tick (

Prevalence of symbionts and trypanosome infections in tsetse flies of two villages of the “Faro and Déo” division of the Adamawa region of Cameroon

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Tsetse flies are vectors of human and animal African trypanosomiasis. In spite of many decades of chemotherapy and vector control, the disease has not been eradicated. Other methods like the transformation of tsetse fly symbionts to render the

Evaluation de la capacité vectorielle de Glossina tachinoides (Diptera, Glossinidae) vis à vis de Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense : implications épidémiologiques [PDF]

, 1996
Cent quatre vingt-deux Glossina tachinoides ont été infectées avec Trypanosoma congolense type "savane". Les taux d'infection ont été évalués par examen microscopique et par PCR.

Comparative performance of traps in catching tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) in Tanzania

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2016
This study was conducted to determine the efficiency of different tsetse traps in 28 sites across Tanzania. The traps used were biconical, H, NGU, NZI, pyramidal, S3, mobile, and sticky panels.

Comparative evaluation of the attractiveness of new polyethylene screens versus West African tiny target for the control of tsetse flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The material has no significant difference in captures (non‐shiny cotton‐polyester screens vs. the shiny polyethylene screens), but the vertical screen attracted significantly more G. tachinoides for each type of material. Full white horizontal screen was significantly lower than the reference WATT.
