An antimicrobial peptide with trypanocidal activity characterized from Glossina morsitans morsitans
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2005Tsetse flies (Diptera:Glossinidae) are vectors of African trypanosomes, the protozoan agents of devastating diseases in humans and animals. Prior studies in trypanosome infected Glossina morsitans morsitans have shown induced expression and synthesis of several antimicrobial peptides in fat body tissue.

Symbionts in the female tsetse flyGlossina morsitans morsitans
Experientia, 1975A rickettsia-like symbiont, located in the ovaries of G. m. morsitans is maternally transmitted to the offspring via the egg. It is suggested that they may be essential for normal ovarian development.

Mortality in adult tsetse, Glossina morsitans morsitans, caused by entomopathogenic bacteria
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1989Mortality in adult tsetse, Glossina morsitans morsitans, caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus sphaericus, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis H-14, B. thuringiensis 1, B. thuringiensis 5, B. thuringiensis var. insraelensis, and Providentia rettgeri was determined.

An immunoregulatory peptide from tsetse fly salivary glands of Glossina morsitans morsitans
Biochimie, 2015Tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans is an important insect vector of African trypanosomes, which cause human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). As other hematophagous arthropods, tsetse fly relies heavily on the pharmacological propriety of their saliva to suppress host's immune reactions and get blood meal.

Probing by Glossina morsitans morsitans and Transmission of Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981Successive probings on nine mice each by 32 Glossina morsitans morsitans infected with Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense resulted in 54% of the mice (156/288) becoming parasitemic. A second trial with 25 surviving infected flies resulted in transmission by probing to 37.3% (84/225) of the host mice.

Identification of major soluble salivary gland proteins in teneral Glossina morsitans morsitans
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002Salivary glands of tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidiae) contain molecules that are involved in preventing blood clotting during feeding as well as molecules thought to be intimately associated with trypanosome development and maturation. Here we present a protein microchemical analysis of the major soluble proteins of the salivary glands of Glossina ...

Some Barriers to Trypanosoma congolense Development in Glossina morsitans morsitans
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1987The effect of fly age, sex, and period of starvation on the uptake and development of Trypanosoma congolense infection was examined in Glossina morsitans morsitans. In a study consisting of 1739 specimens of various ages, young unfed 16-hr-old flies and 2-day-old starved flies developed significantly higher mature infections than 2-day-old and 7-day ...

The compound eye of the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans morsitans and Glossina palpalis palpalis)
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1989Abstract We have examined the retina of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans and G. palpalis using anatomical, optical, biochemical and electrophysiological techniques. The eye is basically very similar to those of other higher Diptera such as Musca and Calliphora.

Antioxidant gene expression in the blood‐feeding fly Glossina morsitans morsitans
Insect Molecular Biology, 2005Abstract We report the characterization of 11 antioxidant genes from the tsetse fly Glossina m. morsitans . Through similarity searches which detected homology we suggest that these genes consist of two superoxide dismutases (one with a putative signal peptide), three ...

Phospholipases of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1978Abstract 1. 1. Phospholipases of Glossina morsitans during pupal and adult fly developmental stages were investigated. 2. 2. Only phospholipases A and B were detectable, phospholipases C and D were not detected. 3. 3. Phospholipases A and B were affected by factors such as, pH, deoxycholate and Ca 2+ in a way similar to ...
