mir-31 mediated control of bacteriome size in tsetse flies [PDF]
Current Research in Insect ScienceTsetse flies are the primary vectors of African trypanosomes, which are transmitted through blood feeding. To supplement this nutritionally limited diet, tsetse evolved an obligate mutualism with the bacterium Wigglesworthia glossinidia, housed within a ...
