Inhibition of the DNA amplification of trypanosomes present in tsetse flies midguts: implications for the identification of trypanosome species in wild tsetse flies

Parasite, 2004
The present study was carried out in order to investigate if there was really a failure of PCR in identifying parasitologically positive tsetse flies in the field.

Les chimiorécepteurs de l'aile chez Glossina pallidipes (Diptera : Glossinidae) et Stomoxys nigra (Diptera : Muscidae) [PDF]

, 1996
Une étude comparative des organes sensoriels de l'aile, plus particulièrement les chimiorécepteurs, de deux vecteurs de trypanosomoses, Glossina pallidipes Austen, 1903 (transmission cyclique) et Stomoxys nigra Macquart, 1850 (transmission mécanique) a ...

Proteomic analysis of Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus virions for immune intervention in tsetse fly colonies [PDF]

, 2010
Many species of tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) can be infected by a virus that causes salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH). The viruses isolated from Glossina pallidipes (GpSGHV) and Musca somestica (MdSGHV) have recently been sequenced.

New tsetse (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) genomes generated from wild and laboratory‐reared specimens

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1588-1596, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse (Glossina spp.) are vectors of African trypanosomes that cause devastating human and animal African trypanosomiases. While much of the research to better understand tsetse genetics and physiology relies on colony‐reared flies, these flies may not represent the genetic diversity found in natural wild populations due to their long‐term ...

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 of these genes were highly transcribed in the antennae.

Prevalence of symbionts and trypanosome infections in tsetse flies of two villages of the “Faro and Déo” division of the Adamawa region of Cameroon

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Tsetse flies are vectors of human and animal African trypanosomiasis. In spite of many decades of chemotherapy and vector control, the disease has not been eradicated. Other methods like the transformation of tsetse fly symbionts to render the

The influence of sex and fly species on the development of trypanosomes in tsetse flies. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
Unlike other dipteran disease vectors, tsetse flies of both sexes feed on blood and transmit pathogenic African trypanosomes. During transmission, Trypanosoma brucei undergoes a complex cycle of proliferation and development inside the tsetse vector ...

Spatiotemporal changes in prevalence of Sodalis glossinidius, Spiroplasma spp. and trypanosome species in wild Glossina tachinoides from Sora‐Mboum animal African trypanosomiasis focus in northern Cameroon

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1713-1725, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has proven effective to reduce tsetse population density in large infected areas where animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) elimination was difficult to achieve. However, the decrease in mass production of insectary‐reared tsetse and the limited but incomplete knowledge on ...

The food of glossina morsitans [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1914
Five hundred flies, freshly caught in the Proclaimed Area, were killed by chloroform and the gut of each was roughly dissected out, smeared on a slide, fixed by osmic vapour and alcohol, and subsequently stained by Giemsa. The flies were all caught in the bush, away from the paths, the fly-boys proceeding in single file and catching the flies with ...

Sodalis glossinidius prevalence and trypanosome presence in tsetse from Luambe National Park, Zambia

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Tsetse flies are the biological vectors of African trypanosomes, the causative agents of sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals. The tsetse endosymbiont Sodalis glossinidius has been suggested to play a role in tsetse susceptibility
