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 ...

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1495-1523, October 2025.
The 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.

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

Evaluating the impact on F1 sterility of tsetse pupae Glossina morsitans morsitans irradiated following short‐term hypoxic conditioning

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1799-1819, October 2025.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) for tsetse involves releasing sterilized males to outcompete wild males in mating, resulting in nonviable progeny. Balancing optimum sterility and male quality is crucial. While irradiation in hypoxia or anoxia is routine for tephritid flies, its effect on tsetse, especially postrelease, is not well ...

Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1476-1494, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the presence of ...

Acquisition de nouvelles données sur l'équipement sensoriel des glossines (Diptera, Glossinidae)

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1991
Une étude conduite sur trois espèces de glossines (Glossina tachinoides, G. morsitans morsitans et G. fuscipes fuscipes) au moyen du microscope électronique à balayage (MEB) a permis d'acquérir de nouvelles données sur la morphologie et la localisation ...

Detecting bracoviral orthologs distribution in five tsetse fly species and the housefly genomes

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective Mutualism between endogenous viruses and eukaryotes is still poorly understood. Several endogenous double-stranded polydnaviruses, bracoviruses, homologous to those present in parasitic braconid wasp genomes were detected in the tsetse fly ...

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 ...

, 1989
Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead and Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood carrying two marker genes on the X chromosome, two in linkage group II, and one in linkage group III were hybridized.

A pilot study to delimit tsetse target populations in Zimbabwe.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BackgroundTsetse (Glossina sensu stricto) are cyclical vectors of human and animal trypanosomoses, that are presently targeted by the Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC) coordinated by the African Union.
