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 ...

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

Insect 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 ...

Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1476-1494, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the presence of ...

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 ...

Tsetse and trypanosomosis in Africa : the challenges, the opportunities : vector-borne diseases : trypanosomosis

Onderstepoort J Vet Res, 2009
Tsetse-fly and the disease it transmits, trypanosomosis, remain an enormous disease challenge in the 37 countries of sub-Saharan Africa where the impact continues to be manifest in disease burden, increased level of poverty and decreased agricultural productivity.
