Stress in dipteran insects mass-reared for sterile insect technique applications. [PDF]
Insect SciThe connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

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 ...

Evaluation of two candidate molecules-TCTP and cecropin-on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis. [PDF]
Insect SciThis study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Species richness and abundance of wild tsetse flies collected from selected human-wildlife-livestock interface in Tanzania [PDF]
Parasite Epidemiology and ControlThe successful control of tsetse flies largely depends on understanding of the species available and abundance. This study assessed the species richness, abundance and apparent density of wild collected tsetse flies from selected human-wildlife-livestock

Characterisations of odorant-binding proteins in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009 Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play an important role in insect olfaction by mediating interactions between odorants and odorant receptors. We report for the first time 20 OBP genes in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans. qRT-PCR revealed that 8

Genetic differentiation of some Glossina morsitans morsitans populations [PDF]
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1999 Summary To study the population structure of Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood (Diptera: Glossinidae), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single‐strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) methods were used to estimate mitochondrial DNA diversity at four loci in six ...
