Comparative phylogenetic exploration of the human mitochondrial proteome: Insights into disease and metabolism [PDF]

, 2018
Mitochondria are a key organelle within human cells, with functions ranging from ATP synthesis to apoptosis. Changes in mitochondrial function are associated with many diseases, as well as ‘natural’ processes like ageing.

Tsetse Salivary Gland Hypertrophy Virus: Hope or Hindrance for Tsetse Control? [PDF]

, 2011
Many species of tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are infected with a virus that causes salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH), and flies with SGH symptoms have a reduced fecundity and fertility.

Trans-generational transmission of the Glossina pallidipes hytrosavirus depends on the presence of a functional symbiome [PDF]

, 2013
The vertically transmitted endosymbionts (Sodalis glossinidius and Wigglesworthia glossinidia) of the tsetse fly (Diptera: Glossinidae) are known to supplement dietary deficiencies and modulate the reproductive fitness and the defense system of the fly ...

Analysis of Virion Structural Components Reveals Vestiges of the Ancestral Ichnovirus Genome [PDF]

, 2010
Many thousands of endoparasitic wasp species are known to inject polydnavirus (PDV) particles into their caterpillar host during oviposition, causing immune and developmental dysfunctions that benefit the wasp larva.

Establishment and partial characterisation of a new cell line derived from adult tissues of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]

Parasit Vectors
Background: Insect cell lines play a vital role in many aspects of research on disease vectors and agricultural pests. The tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans is an important vector of salivarian trypanosomes in sub-Saharan Africa and, as such, is a ...
