Spiroplasma infection in colonized Glossina fuscipes fuscipes: impact on mass rearing and the sterile insect technique

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1761-1776, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) can vector the parasites (Trypanosoma spp.) that cause the socioeconomically devastating neglected tropical diseases human and animal African trypanosomoses. In addition to this parasite, tsetse can harbor four genera of endosymbiotic bacteria, including Wigglesworthia, Sodalis, Wolbachia, and Spiroplasma, which ...

Safety and visual outcomes following posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens bilensectomy

open access: yesEye and Vision, 2020
Background To evaluate the safety, efficacy, refractive outcomes and causes for bilensectomy (phakic intraocular lens – pIOL – explantation with cataract surgery and pseudophakic intraocular lens implantation) in patients previously implanted with ...

Evaluating the impact on F1 sterility of tsetse pupae Glossina morsitans morsitans irradiated following short‐term hypoxic conditioning

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1799-1819, October 2025.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) for tsetse involves releasing sterilized males to outcompete wild males in mating, resulting in nonviable progeny. Balancing optimum sterility and male quality is crucial. While irradiation in hypoxia or anoxia is routine for tephritid flies, its effect on tsetse, especially postrelease, is not well ...

New tsetse (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) genomes generated from wild and laboratory‐reared specimens

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1588-1596, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse (Glossina spp.) are vectors of African trypanosomes that cause devastating human and animal African trypanosomiases. While much of the research to better understand tsetse genetics and physiology relies on colony‐reared flies, these flies may not represent the genetic diversity found in natural wild populations due to their long‐term ...

Assessment of the developmental success of Anopheles coluzzii larvae under different nutrient regimes: effects of diet quality, food amount and larval density

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2018
Background In a context of increasing resistance of both vectors toward main classes of insecticides used in public health and parasites toward anti-malarial drugs, development of new and complementary molecules or control approaches is fundamental to ...

Establishment of a medium-scale mosquito facility: optimization of the larval mass-rearing unit for Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Standardized larval rearing units for mosquito production are essential for the establishment of a mass-rearing facility. Two larval rearing units, developed respectively by the Guangzhou Wolbaki Biotech Co. Ltd.

Role of Narrow Band Imaging in predicting the malignant potential of laryngeal structural lesions in subjects presenting with hoarseness for more than three weeks in comparison with histopathological examination in a Tertiary Care centre [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
OBJECTIVES: To categorize laryngeal structural lesions based on Narrow Band Imaging(NBI) into either benign or malignant lesions, based on the intraepithelial papillary capillary loop pattern [IPCL] and to analyse the predictability of their malignant ...

A superficial esophageal cancer in an epiphrenic diverticulum treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2017
Background We report a unique case of a superficial esophageal cancer arising in a single diverticulum, diagnosed with magnifying image-enhanced endoscopy and then successfully treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
