Laboratory colonisation and genetic bottlenecks in the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes [PDF]

, 2014
Background The IAEA colony is the only one available for mass rearing of Glossina pallidipes, a vector of human and animal African trypanosomiasis in eastern Africa. This colony is the source for Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs in East Africa.

L’élevage de Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead, 1910 (Diptera: Glossinidae) au CRTA de Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. Il. Caractéristiques biologiques

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1988
Un élevage de Glossina morsitans submorsitans est créé, en décembre 1981, au CRTA de Bobo-Dioulasso, à partir de 11182 pupes produites par des femelles sauvages élevées en brousse dans la région de la Comoé (Sud-Ouest du Burkina Faso).

Responses of Glossina pallidipes and Glossina morsitans morsitans tsetse flies to analogues of δ-octalactone and selected blends. [PDF]

Acta Trop, 2016
Previous studies have shown that δ-octalactone is an important component of the tsetse-refractory waterbuck (Kobus defassa) repellent odour blend. In the present study, structure-activity comparison was undertaken to determine the effects of the length of the side chain and ring size of the lactone on adult Glossina pallidipes and Glossina morsitans ...

Microinjection‐enabled gene silencing in first instar larvae of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, reveals vital genes for larval survival

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1969-1981, December 2025.
This study introduces a microinjection technique to deliver dsRNA into the hemolymph of first instar larval thrips (L1s) via the foreleg coxa, enhancing survival rates by minimizing internal tissue damage. Significant knockdown of V‐ATPase‐B, CYP3653A2, and ApoLp‐II/I was achieved, with silencing of CYP3653A2 or ApoLp‐II/I increasing larval mortality ...

Inhibition of the DNA amplification of trypanosomes present in tsetse flies midguts: implications for the identification of trypanosome species in wild tsetse flies

Parasite, 2004
The present study was carried out in order to investigate if there was really a failure of PCR in identifying parasitologically positive tsetse flies in the field.

Nombre probable de Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense transmis par Glossina morsitans Togo

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1984
A la suite d'infection de Glossina morsitans morsitans avec Trypanosoma (N.) congolense "stock" Avetonou et "clone" ILRAD 1323, il a été remarqué qu'une G. morsitans peut émettre, par salivation sur lame chaude, 1 à 251 trypanosomes métacycliques.

Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2660-2680, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...

Notes sur un élevage de Glossines (Diptera-muscidae) entrepris à partir de pupes expédiées d'Afrique, à Maisons-Alfort

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1966
Les auteurs exposent les techniques employées au laboratoire d'entomologie de l'I.E.M.V., à Maisons-Alfort, pour élever trois souches de glossines: Gl. morsitans morsitans West., en provenance du Tanganyika; Gl.

Tsetse Fly Detection and Sex Classification Model Enrichment Employing YOLOv8 and YOLO11 Architecture

Applied AI Letters, Volume 6, Issue 3, October 2025.
This study developed an automated Tsetse fly sex identification and classification system using CNN‐driven mobile imaging and compared the performance of YOLOv8 and YOLO11 through a performance matrix and statistical analysis involving paired t‐tests and McNemar's test.

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1747-1760, October 2025.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3
