Population genetics of Glossina palpalis gambiensis in the sleeping sickness focus of Boffa (Guinea) before and after eight years of vector control: no effect of control despite a significant decrease of human exposure to the disease

Peer Community Journal
Human African trypanosomosis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is still a major concern in endemic countries. Its cyclical vector are biting insects of the genus Glossina or tsetse flies. In Guinea, the mangrove ecosystem contains the main HAT foci

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

Parasit Vectors, 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 ...

Storage of male Glossina palpalis gambiensis pupae at low temperature: effect on emergence, mating and survival [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Procurement of sterile tsetse flies (Glossina palpalis gambiensis) from Burkina Faso for an eradication programme in Senegal that incorporates the sterile insect technique (SIT) required the development of transport and handling protocols that would allow retaining the female flies in the rearing facility and transport of the male flies as irradiated ...

Sodalis glossinidius (Enterobacteriaceae) and vectorial competence of Glossina palpalis gambiensis and Glossina morsitans morsitans for Trypanosoma congolense savannah type

Current Microbiology, 2005
Sodalis glossinidius is an endosymbiont of Glossina palpalis gambiensis and Glossina morsitans morsitans, the vectors of Trypanosoma congolense. The presence of the symbiont was investigated by PCR in Trypanosoma congolense savannah type-infected and ...

Prospects for the development of odour baits to control the tsetse flies Glossina tachinoides and G. palpalis s.l. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
Field studies were done of the responses of Glossina palpalis palpalis in Côte d'Ivoire, and G. p. gambiensis and G. tachinoides in Burkina Faso, to odours from humans, cattle and pigs. Responses were measured either by baiting (1.) biconical traps or (2.

Long distance transport of irradiated male Glossina palpalis gambiensis pupae and its impact on sterile male yield [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2015
The application of the sterile insect technique (SIT) requires mass-production of sterile males of good biological quality. The size of the project area will in most cases determine whether it is more cost effective to produce the sterile flies locally ...

Comparative Genomics of Glossina palpalis gambiensis and G. morsitans morsitans to Reveal Gene Orthologs Involved in Infection by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2017
Blood-feeding Glossina palpalis gambiense (Gpg) fly transmits the single-celled eukaryotic parasite Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (Tbg), the second Glossina fly African trypanosome pair being Glossina morsitans/T.brucei rhodesiense. Whatever the T. brucei

Larviposition site selection mediated by volatile semiochemicals of larval origin in Glossina palpalis gambiensis

bioRxiv, 2019
Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the cyclical vectors of trypanosomes, the causative agents of African animal trypanosomosis or nagana in animals and human African trypanosomosis or sleeping sickness in humans.
