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.

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.

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.

Investigation on Prevalence of Canine Trypanosomiasis in the Conservation Areas of Bwindi‐Mgahinga and Queen Elizabeth in Western Uganda

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Nowadays, despite the instauration of several control strategies, animal trypanosomiasis continues to be reported all over Uganda. Few canine African trypanosomiasis (CAT) studies have been carried out, yet dogs are known Trypanosoma reservoirs that share identical home ranges with livestock and serve as parasite link between livestock and humans. This

Diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Glossina populations in Nigeria and the Cameroonian border region

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Tsetse flies are vectors of trypanosomes, parasites that cause devastating disease in humans and livestock. In the course of vector control programmes it is necessary to know about the Glossina species present in the study area, the population
