Complex interactions between temperature and relative humidity on water balance of adult tsetse (Glossinidae, Diptera): implications for climate change

Frontiers in Physiology, 2011
Insect water balance plays an important role in determining energy budgets, activity patterns, survival and population dynamics and, hence, geographic distribution. Tsetse (Glossina spp.) are important vectors of human and animal disease occupying a wide

Enquête entomologique dans la région des savanes (République du Togo)

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1968
La répartition des glossines, dans la région des savanes, se caractérise par: 1. - Absence de Gl. morsitans, tout au moins dans l'étendue des zones prospectées. 2. - Présence de Gl. tachinoides et de Gl.

Combining paratransgenesis with SIT: impact of ionizing radiation on the DNA copy number of Sodalis glossinidius in tsetse flies

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the cyclical vectors of the causative agents of African Trypanosomosis, which has been identified as a neglected tropical disease in both humans and animals in many regions of sub-Saharan Africa.

Impact of Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus (GpSGHV) on a heterologous tsetse fly host, Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the vectors of African trypanosomosis, the causal agent of sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals.

Antiviral drug valacyclovir treatment combined with a clean feeding system enhances the suppression of salivary gland hypertrophy in laboratory colonies of Glossina pallidipes

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Hytrosaviridae cause salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH) syndrome in some infected tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae). Infected male and female G. pallidipes with SGH have a reduced fecundity and fertility.

Morphometric diagnosis of Glossina palpalis (Diptera: Glossinidae) population structure in Ghana

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Objective This study aimed to identify isolated population(s) of Glossina palpalis in Ghana using geometric morphometrics to evaluate variations in wing-shape and size between populations of the fly from three regions. Results Wing shape of G.

RNA interference-based antiviral immune response against the salivary gland hypertrophy virus in Glossina pallidipes

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus (GpSGHV; Hytrosaviridae) is a non-occluded dsDNA virus that specifically infects the adult stages of the hematophagous tsetse flies (Glossina species, Diptera: Glossinidae).

Les ailes de glossines, une carte d'identité de l'insecte ?

Parasite, 2002
Dans les études de dynamique de population des glossines, vecteurs des trypanosomoses en Afrique, la taille de l'insecte peut être mise en relation avec leur longévité et leur capacité vectorielle.

Comparative performance of traps in catching tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) in Tanzania

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2016
This study was conducted to determine the efficiency of different tsetse traps in 28 sites across Tanzania. The traps used were biconical, H, NGU, NZI, pyramidal, S3, mobile, and sticky panels.
