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.

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 ...

Animal Health Professionals’ Knowledge, Risk Perception and Preventive Practices Towards Zoonotic Infections in Cameroon

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Animal health professionals act as the first line of defence in zoonosis transmission. By handling animals on a daily basis, they are at risk of contracting zoonotic diseases. However, the lack of data on animal health professional risk perception on zoonotic disease and preventive practices may hamper decision making and policies

Evaluation of a Novel Tc‐24 Recombinant Antigen ELISA for Serologic Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in Dogs: A Pilot Study

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Dogs are major reservoirs of Trypanosoma cruzi in Texas, United States. This study evaluated a novel Tc‐24 recombinant antigen ELISA for the serologic detection of Chagas disease in dogs and found it to have high sensitivity and specificity compared to existing commercial tests. The Tc‐24 Chagas ELISA provides a reliable tool for enhanced canine Chagas
