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.

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 ...

Storage and sexual separation ofGlossina morsitans morsitansWestwood puparia
Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1975Maintenance of unknown-age tsetse puparia at 4 degrees C for six days substantially reduced emergence; normal emergence occurred when puparia were held at temperatures of 12 degrees, 14 degrees, or 16 degrees C for two, three or four weeks, respectively.

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.

Effect of Two Chemosterilants on Glossina morsitans
Nature, 1964THE use of sterile males offers a theoretical advantage over the use of insecticides in insect control1. This advantage is greater in the control of low-density pest species such as the screw-worm2. The sterile male technique has therefore been suggested for the control of tsetse flies, and Potts3 examined the effects of γ-radiation on tsetse fly pupae.

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.

Thermal effect of blood feeding in the telmophagous fly Glossina morsitans morsitans
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2015During feeding on warm-blooded hosts, haematophagous insects are exposed to thermal stress due to the ingestion of a meal which temperature may highly exceed their own body temperature. In order to avoid overheating and its subsequent deleterious effects, these insects respond by setting up molecular protective mechanisms such as heat shock proteins ...

Spermatophore of the Tsetse, Glossina Morsitans Morsitans Westwood: An Ultrastructural Study
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1980Sperm are transferred from male to female tsetse, as in most insect species, within a spermatophore. The spermatophore of the tsetse species, Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood (Diptera: Glossinidae), is highly organized, and can be visualized as a sac deposited in the uterus of the female tsetse. The wall of the spermatophore comprises two layers,

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 ...

Expression and characterization of cathepsin B from tsetse (Glossina morsitans morsitans).
The Japanese journal of veterinary research, 2013Digestive enzymes in tsetse fly midgut are thought to modulate the development of African trypanosome which is a causative agent of trypanosomosis in human and animal. Cathepsin B is induced after the first blood meal ingestion and being higher in trypanosome infected flies. A DNA fragment encoding pro-cathepsin B (930 bp) (Accession No.
