Evaluation of different blood-feeding frequencies on Glossina palpalis gambiensis performance in a mass-rearing insectary. [PDF]
Abstract Background: In tsetse flies mass rearing insectaries, the sustainable supply of high-quality blood meals is the main challenge, especially in Africa. Because collection of high-quality and quantity of blood may be an important constraint to production, blood feeding frequency can be a lever to lessen this impact.

Larviposition site selection mediated by volatile semiochemicals in Glossina palpalis gambiensis [PDF]
1. Tsetse flies ( Diptera: Glossinidae ) are K‐strategist species and deposit a single larva at 10‐day intervals in specific sites. As larviposition site selection strongly impacts reproductive success, the selection of larviposition sites is unlikely to be random and will be subject to ...

Ecotype evolution in Glossina palpalis subspecies, major vectors of sleeping sickness. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The role of environmental factors in driving adaptive trajectories of living organisms is still being debated. This is even more important to understand when dealing with important neglected diseases and their vectors.

Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Tsetse Fly) [PDF]
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.

Fipronil 1% pour-on: further studies of its effects against lab-reared Glossina palpalis gambiensis. [PDF]
In order to assess the residual effects of fipronil 1% on tsetse fly survival, male Glossina palpalis gambiensis were released on non-treated and treated cattle, with 0.1 ml of fipronil/kg b.w. as a pour-on formulation. In a second trial, the female fecundity performances were evaluated by feeding teneral females on the same cattle.

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.
