Phenetic and genetic structure of tsetse fly populations (Glossina palpalis palpalis) in southern Ivory Coast [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background: Sleeping sickness, transmitted by G. p. palpalis, is known to be present in the Ivory Coast. G. p. palpalis has recently been reported to occur in several places within the town of Abidjan, including: (i) the Banco forest, (ii) the Abobo ...

Spiroplasma endosymbiont reduction of host lipid synthesis and Stomoxyn-like peptide contribute to trypanosome resistance in the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) vector African trypanosomes that cause devastating diseases in humans and domestic animals. Within the Glossina genus, species in the Palpalis subgroup exhibit greater resistance to trypanosome infections compared to those in

Evaluation of two candidate molecules-TCTP and cecropin-on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis. [PDF]

Insect Sci
This 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

Optimizing the colour and fabric of targets for the control of the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Most cases of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) start with a bite from one of the subspecies of Glossina fuscipes. Tsetse use a range of olfactory and visual stimuli to locate their hosts and this response can be exploited to lure tsetse ...

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector. [PDF]

Eur J Neurosci
Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

Population genetics of Glossina palpalis palpalis from central African sleeping sickness foci [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2011
Abstract Background Glossina palpalis palpalis (Diptera: Glossinidae) is widespread in west Africa, and is the main vector of sleeping sickness in Cameroon as well as in the Bas Congo Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, little is known on the structure of its populations.

Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Tsetse Fly) [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2020
Glossina palpalis gambiensis is a riverine tsetse species endemic in West Africa and thriving in riparian vegetation of the savannah areas from Burkina Faso and Mali to Guinea and Senegal. It is a major vector of human and animal trypanosomosis (sleeping sickness and nagana, respectively) in that region. G. p.

Control of Human African Trypanosomiasis in the Nola-Bilolo Focus, Central African Republic, 2020-2024: Outcome of Capacity Building, Improved Diagnosis and Treatment. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
This study is aimed at evaluating the inclusion of miniature anion‐exchange centrifugation technique (mAECT) in the diagnosis and fexinidazole as treatment of gHAT in Central African Republic (CAR) after capacity building. A cross‐sectional pilot study was conducted during a mass diagnostic campaign from 16 September to 22 October 2022 in Nola‐Bilolo ...

Tsetse EP protein protects the fly midgut from trypanosome establishment. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
African trypanosomes undergo a complex developmental process in their tsetse fly vector before transmission back to a vertebrate host. Typically, 90% of fly infections fail, most during initial establishment of the parasite in the fly midgut.

Molecular identification of different trypanosome species and subspecies in tsetse flies of northern Nigeria [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is caused by several species of trypanosomes including Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax, T. godfreyi, T. simiae and T. brucei. Two of the subspecies of T. brucei also cause Human African Trypanosomiasis.
