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 ...

Precocene-induced sterility in F1 generation of Glossina morsitans morsitans
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1982Abstract Precocene treatment does not disrupt the events of reproduction in Glossina morsitans morsitans or induce any apparent changes in treated tsetse. However, some females of the F1 generation are either sterile or show retardations in follicle development. Sterility is not reversed spontaneously or with juvenile hormone analogues.

Tsetse flyGlossina morsitans morsitans produces ultrasound related to behavior
Experientia, 1975The spectrum of the sounds produced by the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans extends to above 80 kHz and the energy distribution between 20 and 70 kHz is related to behavior.

Composition of the peritrophic matrix of the tsetse fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans
Cell and Tissue Research, 1996The three-layered peritrophic matrix of Glossina morsitans morsitans is shown, by histochemistry, to be formed of a mixture of glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins and chitin. In all three layers the glycosaminoglycans contain GlcNAc-hexuronic and Gal-GlcNAc moieties, together with chitin.

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,

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 ...

Pheromone perception in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1985AbstractThe perception of cuticular female sex pheromone (15, 19, 23‐trimethylheptatriacontane=‘morsilure’) in Glossina m. morsitans was studied electrophysiologically and behaviourally. Electrophysiological studies indicated no sensitivity of the ‘tibial sensilla’ or the contact chemoreceptive hairs on the legs of males to the pheromone.
