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.

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.

Genetic diversity and population structure of the secondary symbiont of tsetse flies, Sodalis glossinidius, in sleeping sickness foci in Cameroon. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown substantial differences in Sodalis glossinidius and trypanosome infection rates between Glossina palpalis palpalis populations from two Cameroonian foci of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), Bipindi and Campo. We

Mixed populations of Trypanosoma brucei in wild Glossina palpalis palpalis.

Tropical medicine and parasitology : official organ of Deutsche Tropenmedizinische Gesellschaft and of Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), 1994
In many previous characterization studies of Trypanozoon, isolates have been subpassaged numerous times in laboratory rodents until a quantity of trypanosomes sufficient for analysis has been obtained. In addition to the numerous biochemical effects of such a process on the parasite, it appears probable that adaptation to an unnatural host may also ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
