Environmental mutations in the Campo focus challenge elimination of sleeping sickness transmission in Cameroon

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.

Prospects for developing efficient targets for the xenomonitoring and control of Simulium damnosum s.l., the major vectors of onchocerciasis in Africa

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 235-246, September 2022., 2022
Highlight 1: Our results revealed that smaller targets attract as many savanna S. damnosum than largest ones. Highlight 2: Horizontal oblongs targets are more attractive to savanna S. damnosum. Highlight 3: Horizontal oblong target baited with POCA blend collected highly number of savanna S. damnosum.

Molecular identification of different trypanosome species and subspecies in tsetse flies of northern Nigeria [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is caused by several species of trypanosomes including Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax, T. godfreyi, T. simiae and T. brucei. Two of the subspecies of T. brucei also cause Human African Trypanosomiasis.

Prevalence of symbionts and trypanosome infections in tsetse flies of two villages of the “Faro and Déo” division of the Adamawa region of Cameroon

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Tsetse flies are vectors of human and animal African trypanosomiasis. In spite of many decades of chemotherapy and vector control, the disease has not been eradicated. Other methods like the transformation of tsetse fly symbionts to render the

Optimizing the colour and fabric of targets for the control of the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Most cases of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) start with a bite from one of the subspecies of Glossina fuscipes. Tsetse use a range of olfactory and visual stimuli to locate their hosts and this response can be exploited to lure tsetse ...
