Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1726-1736, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations.

Essai de lutte contre Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Vanderplank, 1949) à l'aide de pièges et d'écrans imprégnés de deltaméthrine en zone soudanienne au Mali

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1998
L'installation de pièges et d'écrans imprégnés de deltaméthrine le long des forêts ripicoles du fleuve Niger a réduit de 98,70 % la densité apparente de la population de Glossina palpalis gambiensis sur une des rives, après trois mois d'action.

Molecular identification of diminazene aceturate resistant trypanosomes in tsetse flies from Yoko in the Centre region of Cameroon and its epidemiological implications

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2020
African animal trypanosomiases are caused by trypanosomes cyclically or mechanically transmitted by tsetse and other biting flies. Although molecular tools have been developed to identify drug-resistant trypanosomes in mammals, little or no investigation

Potential of entomopathogenic fungi for Glossina austeni control: insights into microbiome alterations and implications on sustainable management of the pest

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1691-1712, October 2025.
Abstract Glossina austeni Newstead (Diptera: Glossinidae) is a competent vector of the trypanosomes causing human African trypanosomiasis and the African animal trypanosomosis. Management of this pest has primarily involved trapping methods, Sterile Insect Technique, and research into vector competence–symbiotic interactions.

Spiroplasma infection in colonized Glossina fuscipes fuscipes: impact on mass rearing and the sterile insect technique

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1761-1776, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) can vector the parasites (Trypanosoma spp.) that cause the socioeconomically devastating neglected tropical diseases human and animal African trypanosomoses. In addition to this parasite, tsetse can harbor four genera of endosymbiotic bacteria, including Wigglesworthia, Sodalis, Wolbachia, and Spiroplasma, which ...

Répartition spatiale et préférences trophiques de Glossina palpalis palpalis dans le foyer forestier de Zoukougbeu (Cote d'Ivoire). Implications épidémiologiques

Parasite, 2000
Dans le foyer de maladie du sommeil de Zoukougbeu (Côte d'Ivoire), plus d'un quart des glossines capturées s'étaient gorgées sur cochon en zone de plantations, lieux préférentiels de transmission de la trypanosomose humaine.

Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1476-1494, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the presence of ...

Diversity of Glossinidae (Diptera) species in The Gambia in relation to vegetation [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Glossina species are known to transmit African Trypanosomiasis, one of the most important infectious diseases for both livestock and humans in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize trapped Glossina spp.

Improving the cost-effectiveness of visual devices for the control of riverine tsetse flies, the major vectors of human African trypanosomiasis. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
Control of the Riverine (Palpalis) group of tsetse flies is normally achieved with stationary artificial devices such as traps or insecticide-treated targets.

New tsetse (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) genomes generated from wild and laboratory‐reared specimens

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1588-1596, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse (Glossina spp.) are vectors of African trypanosomes that cause devastating human and animal African trypanosomiases. While much of the research to better understand tsetse genetics and physiology relies on colony‐reared flies, these flies may not represent the genetic diversity found in natural wild populations due to their long‐term ...
