Evaluation of two candidate molecules-TCTP and cecropin-on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis. [PDF]

Insect Sci
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Control of Human African Trypanosomiasis in the Nola-Bilolo Focus, Central African Republic, 2020-2024: Outcome of Capacity Building, Improved Diagnosis and Treatment. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
This study is aimed at evaluating the inclusion of miniature anion‐exchange centrifugation technique (mAECT) in the diagnosis and fexinidazole as treatment of gHAT in Central African Republic (CAR) after capacity building. A cross‐sectional pilot study was conducted during a mass diagnostic campaign from 16 September to 22 October 2022 in Nola‐Bilolo ...

Ecotype evolution in Glossina palpalis subspecies, major vectors of sleeping sickness. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
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.

Modulation of trypanosome establishment in Glossina palpalis palpalis by its microbiome in the Campo sleeping sickness focus, Cameroon.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors involved in vector competence by analyzing whether the diversity and relative abundance of the different bacterial genera inhabiting the fly's gut could be associated with its trypanosome infection ...

Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Tsetse Fly) [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2020
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.

Retrospective mortality assessment of Glossina palpalis palpalis collections from Ijah-Gwari field station, Niger state Nigeria

Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies, 2021
Handling and transportation of tsetse flies are fundamental for mortality assessment during fly collections. Previous works have indicated that tsetse fly mortalities increase with the rise in ambient temperatures.

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.

Tsetse EP protein protects the fly midgut from trypanosome establishment. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
African trypanosomes undergo a complex developmental process in their tsetse fly vector before transmission back to a vertebrate host. Typically, 90% of fly infections fail, most during initial establishment of the parasite in the fly midgut.

Caryotype de Glossina palpalis gambiensis, Vanderplank, 1949. Comparaison avec d'autres espèces du groupe palpalis et du groupe morsitans

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1974
Glossina palpalis gambiensis possède, comme les autres espèces du sous-genre Nemorhina (Groupe palpalis), quatre autosomes (2 L1 + 2 L2) et deux chromosomes sexuels (XX ou XY).
