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

Variations of Glossina sp. and trypanosome species frequency within different habitats in a sleeping sickness focus, Gabon

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019
Introduction: Knowledge of the infectious status of the Glossina is an indicator of risk of resurgence of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT). Environmental conditions have an impact on the density and diversity of both vector and Trypanosoma.

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of tsetse flies of the palpalis group in Congo Brazzaville based on mitochondrial cox1 gene sequences

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Despite the morphological characterization established in the 1950s and 1960s, the identity of extant taxa that make up Glossina fuscipes (s.l.) in the Congo remains questionable. Previous claims of overlap between G.

Decrease in survival and fecundity of Glossina palpalis gambiensis vanderplank 1949 (Diptera : Glossinidae) fed on cattle treated with single doses of ivermectin [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Human and Animal Trypanosomes are major problems for the socio-economic growth of developing countries like Burkina Faso. Ivermectin is currently used to treat humans in mass drug administration programs in Africa, and is also commonly used ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of the secondary symbiont of tsetse flies, Sodalis glossinidius, in sleeping sickness foci in Cameroon. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown substantial differences in Sodalis glossinidius and trypanosome infection rates between Glossina palpalis palpalis populations from two Cameroonian foci of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), Bipindi and Campo. We

Troubles de la reproduction dans un élevage en laboratoire de Glossana palpalis palpalis Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera : Glossinidae)

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1995
Les troubles de la reproduction ont été utilisés comme paramètre pour l'évaluation de la baisse de fécondité d'une colonie de G. p. palpalis. Les résultats ont montré que l'avortement représentait la forme la plus courante des troubles de la fonction de ...

Comparative genomic analysis of six Glossina genomes, vectors of African trypanosomes

Genome Biology, 2019
Background Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are the vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Tsetse flies are distinguished from other Diptera by unique adaptations, including lactation and the birthing of live young ...

How do tsetse recognise their hosts? The role of shape in the responses of tsetse (Glossina fuscipes and G. palpalis) to artificial hosts. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
Palpalis-group tsetse, particularly the subspecies of Glossina palpalis and G. fuscipes, are the most important transmitters of human African trypanomiasis (HAT), transmitting >95% of cases.

Predicted distribution and movement of Glossina palpalis palpalis (Diptera: Glossinidae) in the wet and dry seasons in the Kogo trypanosomiasis focus (Equatorial Guinea).

, 2007
The aim of this study was to predict the distribution and movement of populations of the tsetse fly, Glossina palpalis palpalis (Diptera: Glossinidae), in the wet and dry seasons and to analyze the impact of the use of mono-pyramidal traps on fly ...
