Tsetse Fly Detection and Sex Classification Model Enrichment Employing YOLOv8 and YOLO11 Architecture

Applied AI Letters, Volume 6, Issue 3, October 2025.
This study developed an automated Tsetse fly sex identification and classification system using CNN‐driven mobile imaging and compared the performance of YOLOv8 and YOLO11 through a performance matrix and statistical analysis involving paired t‐tests and McNemar's test.

Molecular identification of trypanosome species in trypanotolerant cattle from the south of Gabon

Parasite, 2017
The aim of this study was to provide information on trypanosome species infecting trypanotolerant cattle from southern Gabon. The study was conducted on 224 trypanotolerant cattle from three regions located in southern Gabon, using ITS1 primer-based PCR.

The origins of a new Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness outbreak in eastern Uganda.

, 2001
BACKGROUND: Sleeping sickness, caused by two trypanosome subspecies, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, is a parasitic disease transmitted by the tsetse fly in sub-Saharan Africa.

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.

Potential of entomopathogenic fungi for Glossina austeni control: insights into microbiome alterations and implications on sustainable management of the pest

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1691-1712, October 2025.
Abstract Glossina austeni Newstead (Diptera: Glossinidae) is a competent vector of the trypanosomes causing human African trypanosomiasis and the African animal trypanosomosis. Management of this pest has primarily involved trapping methods, Sterile Insect Technique, and research into vector competence–symbiotic interactions.

The interaction ofTrypanosoma congolensewith endothelial cells [PDF]

Parasitology, 1994
Factors which affect adhesion of culturedTrypanosoma congolensebloodstream forms to mammalian feeder cells have been examined. Using anin vitrobinding assay, the initial events following interaction of trypanosomes with bovine aorta endothelial (BAE) cells were monitored by both light- and electron microscopy.

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 ...

Suppressor Cells in Trypanosoma Congolense-Infected Mice

, 1979
Spleen cells from mice infected with T. congolense strongly suppressed lymphocyte stimulation induced in normal spleen cells by incubation with mitogens or allogeneic cells. Cell dilution studies showed that suppressor activity was extremely strong. Suppressor cell activity was markedly reduced by treatment of spleen cell populations with mitomycin-C ...

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

Insect 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 ...

Spatiotemporal changes in prevalence of Sodalis glossinidius, Spiroplasma spp. and trypanosome species in wild Glossina tachinoides from Sora‐Mboum animal African trypanosomiasis focus in northern Cameroon

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1713-1725, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has proven effective to reduce tsetse population density in large infected areas where animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) elimination was difficult to achieve. However, the decrease in mass production of insectary‐reared tsetse and the limited but incomplete knowledge on ...
