Variations in the Peritrophic Matrix Composition of Heparan Sulphate from the Tsetse Fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]

Pathogens, 2018
Tsetse flies are the principal insect vectors of African trypanosomes—sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in cattle. One of the tsetse fly species, Glossina morsitans morsitans, is host to the parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, a major cause of African ...

Annotations of novel antennae-expressed genes in male Glossina morsitans morsitans tsetse flies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2022
Tsetse flies use antennal expressed genes to navigate their environment. While most canonical genes associated with chemoreception are annotated, potential gaps with important antennal genes are uncharacterized in Glossina morsitans morsitans.

Characterization and Tissue Tropism of Newly Identified Iflavirus and Negeviruses in Glossina morsitans morsitans Tsetse Flies [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
Tsetse flies cause major health and economic problems as they transmit trypanosomes causing sleeping sickness in humans (Human African Trypanosomosis, HAT) and nagana in animals (African Animal Trypanosomosis, AAT).

Expansions of chemosensory gene orthologs among selected tsetse fly species and their expressions in Glossina morsitans morsitans tsetse fly. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Tsetse fly exhibit species-specific olfactory uniqueness potentially underpinned by differences in their chemosensory protein repertoire. We assessed 1) expansions of chemosensory protein orthologs in Glossina morsitans morsitans, Glossina pallidipes ...

Establishment and partial characterisation of a new cell line derived from adult tissues of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Insect cell lines play a vital role in many aspects of research on disease vectors and agricultural pests. The tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans is an important vector of salivarian trypanosomes in sub-Saharan Africa and, as such, is a ...

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 [PDF]

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,

Genetic diversity and population structure of Glossina morsitans morsitans in the active foci of human African trypanosomiasis in Zambia and Malawi. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
The tsetse fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans, is a significant problem in Zambia and Malawi. It is the vector for the human infective parasite Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, which causes human African trypanosomiasis, and various Trypanosoma species ...
