Odorant and gustatory receptors in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Tsetse flies use olfactory and gustatory responses, through odorant and gustatory receptors (ORs and GRs), to interact with their environment. Glossina morsitans morsitans genome ORs and GRs were annotated using homologs of these genes in Drosophila ...

An insight into the sialome of
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Blood feeding evolved independently in worms, arthropods and mammals. Among the adaptations to this peculiar diet, these animals developed an armament of salivary molecules that disarm their host's anti-bleeding defenses (hemostasis ...

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector. [PDF]
Eur J NeurosciTsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

A novel vehicle-mounted sticky trap; an effective sampling tool for savannah tsetse flies Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood and Glossina morsitans centralis Machado. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021 BackgroundBlack screen fly round (BFR) is a mobile sampling method for Glossina morsitans. This technique relies on the ability of operator(s) to capture flies landing on the screen with hand nets.

De novo genome assembly, annotation, and characterization of chemosensory genes in the camel ked (Hippobosca camelina) [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Hippobosca camelina (camel ked) is an obligate hematophagous ectoparasite that infests camels. Hematophagy inflicts painful bites leading to myiasis, anemia and pathogen transmission such as Candidatus Anaplasma camelii.

Phenotypic divergence of Glossina morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in Zambia: Application of landmark‐based wing geometric morphometrics to discriminate population‐level variation [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAn important consequence of the discontinuous distribution of insect populations within their geographic range is phenotypic divergence. Detection of this divergence can be challenging when it occurs through subtle shifts in morphological traits with ...

An investigation into the protein composition of the teneral Glossina morsitans morsitans peritrophic matrix. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2014 BACKGROUND Tsetse flies serve as biological vectors for several species of African trypanosomes. In order to survive, proliferate and establish a midgut infection, trypanosomes must cross the tsetse fly peritrophic matrix (PM), which is an acellular ...
