Phenotypic divergence of <i>Glossina morsitans</i> (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in Zambia: Application of landmark-based wing geometric morphometrics to discriminate population-level variation. [PDF]
Ecol EvolLand‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

Study of Mitogenomes Provides Implications for the Phylogenetics and Evolution of the Infraorder Muscomorpha in Diptera. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study comparatively analyzed the mitogenome characteristics of 131 species that represent 18 superfamilies in Muscomorpha, in which mitogenomes of 16 species are newly sequenced and annotated herein. Further, we deduced their phylogenetics using maximum likelihood, and discussed their divergence time and evolution combined with taxonomy and ...

African Trypanosomiasis Research at a Crossroads: Bibliometric and Systematic Insights for the Future. [PDF]
J Parasitol ResAim Despite a reduction in the overall incidence and prevalence in the last two decades, trypanosomiasis continues to be a public health concern in Africa. This study was designed to comprehensively evaluate current trends in trypanosomiasis research using bibliometric approaches to uncover emerging topics and knowledge gaps, thereby guiding future ...

Trypanosomiasis vector control in Africa and Latin America
Parasites & Vectors, 2008 Vectors of trypanosomiasis – tsetse (Glossinidae) in Africa, kissing-bugs (Triatominae) in Latin America – are very different insects but share demographic characteristics that render them highly vulnerable to available control methods.

Susceptibility of Tsetse Species to Glossina pallidipes Salivary Gland Hypertrophy Virus (GpSGHV)
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Salivary gland hytrosaviruses (SGHVs, family Hytrosaviridae) are non-occluded dsDNA viruses that are pathogenic to some dipterans. SGHVs primarily replicate in salivary glands (SG), thereby inducing overt salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH) symptoms in ...

An alternative approach to detect Trypanosoma in Glossina (Diptera, Glossinidae) without dissection
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2008 Background: Determining if a tsetse fly is infected by trypanosomes and thus potentially able to transmit trypanosome-related human and animal diseases is an extremely laborious and time-consuming task to perform, especially under field conditions.

Evolution and Structural Analyses of Glossina morsitans (Diptera; Glossinidae) Tetraspanins
Insects, 2014 Tetraspanins are important conserved integral membrane proteins expressed in many organisms. Although there is limited knowledge about the full repertoire, evolution and structural characteristics of individual members in various organisms, data obtained

Efficacy of Electrocuting Devices to Catch Tsetse Flies (Glossinidae) and Other Diptera. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 The behaviour of insect vectors has an important bearing on the epidemiology of the diseases they transmit, and on the opportunities for vector control. Two sorts of electrocuting device have been particularly useful for studying the behaviour of tsetse ...
