Epidemiology of Bovine Trypanosomiasis in Abe Dongoro District, Western Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
Background and Aims Bovine trypanosomosis is a major protozoan disease constraining cattle productivity in sub‐Saharan Africa. This cross‐sectional study is aimed at determining the prevalence and associated risk factors of bovine trypanosomosis in the Abe Dongoro district, Western Ethiopia.

Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was employed to determine the rate of digestion of blood proteins ingested by teneral and non-teneral laboratory reared Glossina morsitans morsitans at different time intervals after feeding. This test showed that non-teneral flies digested the species distinguishing bloodmeal components faster than tenerals ...

La dernière carte de distribution de Glossina morsitans submorsitans en République centrafricaine a été établie en 1963. La situation de l'élevage à cette époque ne correspond plus aux données actuelles; le cheptel, essentiellement constitué de zébus Mbororo, est en effet passé de 400 000 têtes de bétail à plus de deux millions.

Glossina pallidipes Density and Trypanosome Infection Rate in Arba Minch Zuria District of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]
Background. African trypanosomosis is a disease of both animals and humans resulting from infection with parasitaemic protozoa of the genus Trypanosoma transmitted mainly by the tsetse flies (Glossina species). The disease has been reported in different parts of the country.

Phenotypic divergence of <i>Glossina morsitans</i> (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in Zambia: Application of landmark-based wing geometric morphometrics to discriminate population-level variation. [PDF]
Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

Prevalence of Cattle Trypanosomosis and Apparent Density of Its Fly Vectors in Bambasi District of Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State, Western Ethiopia. [PDF]
Trypanosomosis is the most serious disease of cattle, which causes great socioeconomic losses in the country. Its socioeconomic impact is reflected on direct losses due to mortality, morbidity, and reduction in milk and meat production, abortion and stillbirth, and also costs associated with combat of the disease are direct losses.

Trypanosome Infection in Cattle and Associated Vectors in Etang District of Gambella, Ethiopia. [PDF]
Background. Bovine trypanosomosis produces significant economic losses due to anemia, loss of body condition, and emaciation. The disease is transmitted biologically by tsetse flies and mechanically by biting flies such as Tabanus and Stomoxys. Therefore, this research is aimed at estimating the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and the apparent ...

Sodalis Glossinidius and Wolbachia Infections in Wild Population of Glossina Morsitans Submorsitans Caught in the Area of Lake Iro in the South of Chad [PDF]
Abstract Background: To improve vector control of tsetse transmitted trypanosomiases through a better understanging of the vectorial competence of tsetse flies, investigations have been undertaken on the bacterial fauna of different tsetse species.

Un élevage de Glossina morsitans submorsitans est créé, en décembre 1981, au CRTA de Bobo-Dioulasso, à partir de 11182 pupes produites par des femelles sauvages élevées en brousse dans la région de la Comoé (Sud-Ouest du Burkina Faso).
