Influence of temperature and relative humidity on survival and fecundity of three tsetse strains [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Tsetse flies occur in much of sub-Saharan Africa where they are vectors of trypanosomes that cause human and animal African trypanosomosis.

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.

K‐mer‐Based Motif Analysis in Insect Species across Anopheles, Drosophila, and Glossina Genera and Its Application to Species Classification

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Short k‐mer sequences from DNA are both conserved and diverged across species owing to their functional significance in speciation, which enables their use in many species classification algorithms. In the present study, we developed a methodology to analyze the DNA k‐mers of whole genome, 5′ UTR, intron, and 3′ UTR regions from 58 insect species ...

Overview of the Diagnostic Methods Used in the Field for Human African Trypanosomiasis: What Could Change in the Next Years?

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Sleeping sickness is a parasitic infection caused by two species of trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and rhodesiense), transmitted by the tsetse fly. The disease eventually affects the central nervous system, resulting in severe neurological symptoms. Without treatment, death is inevitable.

Genetically Distinct Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Populations in the Lake Kyoga Region of Uganda and Its Relevance for Human African Trypanosomiasis

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are the sole vectors of Trypanosoma brucei—the agent of human (HAT) and animal (AAT) trypanosomiasis. Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Gff) is the main vector species in Uganda—the only country where the two forms of HAT disease (rhodesiense and gambiense) occur, with gambiense limited to the northwest.

L'élevage de Glossina palpalis gambiensis Vanderplank, 1949 (Diptera-Muscidae) à Bobo-Dioulasso (Haute-Volta)

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1977
En vue de tester sur le terrain la technique de lutte génétique par lâchers de mâles stériles, une colonie de G. p. gambiensis a été créée en mars 1975 au Centre de Recherche sur les Trypanosomiases animales de l'I.E.M.V.T. à Bobo-Dioulasso (Haute-Volta),

The population structure of Glossina palpalis gambiensis from island and continental locations in Coastal Guinea. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2009
We undertook a population genetics analysis of the tsetse fly Glossina palpalis gambiensis, a major vector of sleeping sickness in West Africa, using microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers. Our aims were to estimate effective population size and the degree of isolation between coastal sites on the mainland of Guinea and Loos Islands. The sampling

Using genetic data to improve species distribution models [PDF]

, 2018
Tsetse flies (Diptera, Glossinidae) transmit human and animal trypanosomoses in Africa, respectively a neglected human disease (sleeping sickness) and the most important constraint to cattle production in infested countries (nagana).

Etude de la capacité vectorielle de Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Bobo Dioulasso) vis-à-vis de Trypanosoma brucei brucei EATRO 1125

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1991
Sur 440 mouches ténérales de Glossina palpalis gambiensis nourries une fois sur cobaye infecté chroniquement avec Trypanosoma brucei brucei EATRO 1125, le taux d'infection procyclique s'élève à 2,32 %, tandis que celui de l'infection métacyclique est de
