Molecular detection of Sodalis glossinidius, Spiroplasma species and Wolbachia endosymbionts in wild population of tsetse flies collected in Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Tsetse flies are cyclical vectors of African trypanosomiasis (AT). The flies have established symbiotic associations with different bacteria that influence certain aspects of their physiology.

Protein abundance in the midgut of wild tsetse flies (Glossina palpalis palpalis) naturally infected by Trypanosoma congolense s.l.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 723-736, December 2023., 2023
Main functions of underexpressed proteins in infected flies: transcription/translation processes; biosynthetic and metabolic processes (ATP synthesis); and glutathione S‐transferase activity = metabolic and immune destabilisation and weakening of the fly during infection. Main functions of overexpressed proteins in infected flies (serpins as an example)

Environmental mutations in the Campo focus challenge elimination of sleeping sickness transmission in Cameroon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 260-268, September 2022., 2022
High densities of tsetse fly vectors of Human sleeping sickness and animal trypanosomoses are recorded in the transborder focus of Campo, South Cameroon. Around 20% of these flies are infected with trypanosome parasites, among which Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, the human parasite.

Prospects for developing efficient targets for the xenomonitoring and control of Simulium damnosum s.l., the major vectors of onchocerciasis in Africa

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 235-246, September 2022., 2022
Highlight 1: Our results revealed that smaller targets attract as many savanna S. damnosum than largest ones. Highlight 2: Horizontal oblongs targets are more attractive to savanna S. damnosum. Highlight 3: Horizontal oblong target baited with POCA blend collected highly number of savanna S. damnosum.
