Geospatial Analysis of Tsetse Infestation and Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Busia County, Kenya

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African trypanosomiasis (AT) is a vector‐borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma, primarily transmitted through the bite of infected tsetse flies in the genus Glossina. The disease is a major constraint to livestock production, causing reduced productivity, anemia, and mortality in affected animals.

P-type transport ATPases in Leishmania and Trypanosoma

Parasite, 2019
P-type ATPases are critical to the maintenance and regulation of cellular ion homeostasis and membrane lipid asymmetry due to their ability to move ions and phospholipids against a concentration gradient by utilizing the energy of ATP hydrolysis.

Control of Human African Trypanosomiasis in the Nola‐Bilolo Focus, Central African Republic, 2020–2024: Outcome of Capacity Building, Improved Diagnosis and Treatment

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study is aimed at evaluating the inclusion of miniature anion‐exchange centrifugation technique (mAECT) in the diagnosis and fexinidazole as treatment of gHAT in Central African Republic (CAR) after capacity building. A cross‐sectional pilot study was conducted during a mass diagnostic campaign from 16 September to 22 October 2022 in Nola‐Bilolo ...

Phase II evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of PCR and NASBA followed by oligochromatography for diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis in clinical samples from D.R. Congo and Uganda. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BACKGROUND: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) have been recently modified by coupling to oligochromatography (OC) for easy and fast visualisation of products.

Impact of long‐term mass‐rearing on the genetic structure of tsetse fly Glossina palpalis gambiensis colonies

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1575-1587, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies are the sole cyclic vectors of African trypanosomes, which cause human and animal African trypanosomiases in Africa. Tsetse fly control remains a promising option for disease management. The sterile insect technique (SIT) stands as an environmentally friendly tool to control tsetse populations.

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

Insect 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 ...
