Gorging response of Glossina palpalis palpalis to ATP analogues

Physiological Entomology, 1988
ABSTRACT. The potencies of seventeen analogues of ATP as gorging inducers for Glossina palpalis palpalis were evaluated. The ranking for effective dose that induced half the flies to gorge (ED 50 ) was: A tetra P 5 ATP=2'd ATP ADP ...

The compound eye of the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans morsitans and Glossina palpalis palpalis)

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1989
Abstract 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.

Acidic glycosidases from whole gut of tsetse fly Glossina palpalis palpalis

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1984
Abstract 1. 1. Acidic glycosidase activities with pH optima 4.0–5.5 were found in gut homogenates from Glossina palpalis palpalis. α- and β-galactosidase, a - and β-glueosidase, α-mannosidase, β-glucuronidase, and N -acetylglucosaminidase were found in newly emerged adult females; enzyme activities were followed through a 48-hr starvation ...

Identification of a mariner element from the tsetse fly, Glossina palpalis palpalis

Insect Molecular Biology, 1995
Abstract In the present study, the polymerase chain reaction was used initially to demonstrate the presence of mariner sequences in seven species/subspecies of tsetse flies.

Effects of Gamma-Irradiation on Survival and Fertility of Glossina Palpalis Palpalis

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1986
The effects of various exposure to irradiation from cesium 137 in nitrogen and air on survival and fecundity of Glossina palpalis palpalis were compared. With doses from 3 to 21 krad in nitrogen atmosphere, male fertility was inversely correlated with dose, above 15 krad male survival was inversely correlated with dose. All males subjected to either 21

A mixed population of Trypanozoon in Glossina palpalis palpalis from Ivory Coast

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1984
Cloning trypanosomes clearly showed that at least two enzymically distinct populations of Trypanozoon were present within the salivary glands of a wild-caught Glossina palpalis palpalis from Ivory Coast. Normal sampling techniques detected only the predominant population, which would be the only population reaching a stage suitable for enzyme ...

Proteolytic enzymes from tsetse flies, Glossina morsitans and Glossina palpalis (Diptera: Glossinidae)

Insect Biochemistry, 1985
Abstract Proteolytic enzymes from adult Glossina morsitans morsitans, G. m. centralis, G. m. submorsitans, G. palpalis palpalis, and G. p. gambiensis and larvae of G. m. morsitans were separated using DEAE-cellulose chromatography and Sephadex gel-filtration and characterized by their ability to hydrolyse casein and/or synthetic substrates. Adults of

Experiments and Observations Upon Glossina Palpalis

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1912
In Northern Nigeria the dry season begins in October, and ends in March. During this period practically no rain falls, and the highest temperatures of the year are recorded during the day, whilst the lowest annual temperatures occur during the night at this season. A short tornado season occurs at the beginning and end of the dry weather.

In vitro maintenance of Glossina palpalis palpalis (Robineau-Desvoidy) (Diptera: Glossinidae)

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1978
AbstractA silicone membrane was developed to meet the feeding requirements of Glossina palpalis palpalis (R.-D.). Starting with a total of 1050 females, a self-sustaining colony fed on defibrinated pig blood was established. The colony performance in terms of mean daily mortality, mean pupal weight and fecundity was evaluated.

An improved freeze-dried blood diet for membrane feeding of glossina palpalis palpalis

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1984
Abstract 1. 1. The effect of fetal calf serum as an additive for reconstituted freeze-dried bovine and porcine blood for feeding Glossina palpalis palpalis was determined. 2. 2. Reproductive performance of tsetse flies fed reconstituted freeze-dried bovine and porcine blood supplemented with fetal calf serum was higher than that of flies fed ...
