The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector. [PDF]
Eur J NeurosciTsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

Prevalence of Cattle Trypanosomosis and Temporal Vector Distribution in Jima Arjo District, Upper Didessa Valley, Western Ethiopia. [PDF]
J Parasitol Res, 2022 Trypanosomosis is a protozoan disease, mostly transmitted by the tsetse fly, Glossina species, which causes severe disease of livestock in Ethiopia. The disease is also widespread across the globe especially in sub‐Saharan African states. A cross‐sectional study with the objectives of determining the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and assess the ...

Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]
Vet Med SciThe median PCV of poor body‐conditioned animals is below 20 (anaemic) compared to corresponding body‐condition animals. Black‐ and red‐coloured animals are more significantly affected by trypanosomosis than white‐coloured animals. Multivariable logistic regression revealed more about contributory factors than univariable logistic regression.

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

Bovine Trypanosomosis: Seasonal Prevalence and Vector Density in Dara District, Sidama Region, Ethiopia. [PDF]
Vet Med SciIn the Dara district of the Sidama region, cattle production is still seriously threatened by Glossina spp. and trypanosomosis. Therefore, a sustainable community‐based tsetse and trypanosomosis control program should be put into place. ABSTRACT In sub‐Saharan Africa, animal trypanosomosis is a wasting disease that reduces livestock's health and ...

Activités de Glossina tachinoides W.. (V) [PDF]
, 1975 L'activité de G. tachinoides se manifeste le jour pendant de brefs instants séparés par de longues périodes de repos. Elle se déclenche sous l'impulsion de facteurs internes (faim, recherche du sexe opposé) et selon certaines conditions extérieures dont l'intensité d'action agit sur le nombre de glossines sollicitées.

Trypanosome Infection in Cattle and Associated Vectors in Etang District of Gambella, Ethiopia. [PDF]
J Parasitol ResBackground. Bovine trypanosomosis produces significant economic losses due to anemia, loss of body condition, and emaciation. The disease is transmitted biologically by tsetse flies and mechanically by biting flies such as Tabanus and Stomoxys. Therefore, this research is aimed at estimating the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and the apparent ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 260-268, September 2022., 2022 High densities of tsetse fly vectors of Human sleeping sickness and animal trypanosomoses are recorded in the transborder focus of Campo, South Cameroon. Around 20% of these flies are infected with trypanosome parasites, among which Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, the human parasite.
