Identification of Potential Vectors and Species Density of Tsetse Fly, Prevalence, and Genetic Diversity of Drug-Resistant Trypanosomes in Kenya [PDF]

Pathogens
Tsetse flies are major vectors of trypanosomes in Sub-Saharan Africa, posing risks to livestock and human health. This study investigated the diversity, distribution, and infection rates of tsetse species, as well as the genetic diversity of drug ...

Developing a national atlas to support the progressive control of tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Zambia [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the sole cyclical vectors of African trypanosomosis, a parasitic disease affecting both animals and humans.

TSETSE GENETICS: Contributions to Biology, Systematics, and Control of Tsetse Flies [PDF]

Annual Review of Entomology, 2005
▪ Abstract  Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) constitute a small, ancient taxon of exclusively hematophagous insects that reproduce slowly and viviparously. Because tsetse flies are the only vectors of pathogenic African trypanosomes, they are a potent and constant threat to humans and livestock over much of sub-Saharan Africa.

Prevalence of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Assessment of Trypanocidal Drug Resistance in Tsetse Infested and Non-Tsetse Infested Areas of Northwest Ethiopia

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2017
The Northwestern region of Ethiopia is affected by both tsetse and non-tsetse transmitted trypanosomosis with a significant impact on livestock productivity. The control of trypanosomosis in Ethiopia relies on either curative or prophylactic treatment of

Evaluating the Effect of Irradiation on the Densities of Two RNA Viruses in Glossina morsitans morsitans

Insects, 2023
Tsetse flies are cyclic vectors of Trypanosoma parasites, which cause debilitating diseases in humans and animals. To decrease the disease burden, the number of flies is reduced using the sterile insect technique (SIT), where male flies are sterilized ...

Trypanosome infection rate in Glossina tachinoides: infested rivers of Limmu Kosa District Jimma Zone, Western Ethiopia

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective Trypanosomosis is a disease of domestic animals and humans resulting from infection with parasitaemic protozoa of the genus Trypanosoma transmitted primarily by tsetse flies.

Symbiosis preservation: Putative regulation of fatty acyl-CoA reductase by miR-31a within the symbiont harboring bacteriome through tsetse evolution

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Tsetse flies are the sole vectors of African trypanosomes. In addition to trypanosomes, tsetse harbor obligate Wigglesworthia glossinidia bacteria that are essential to tsetse biology. The absence of Wigglesworthia results in fly sterility, thus offering

Effect of Deltamethrin Aerial Spraying in Controlling African Animal Trypanosomosis in Cattle in the Sesheke and Shang'ombo Districts of Western, Zambia [PDF]

Journal of Zoonotic Diseases, 2023
Trypanosomosis is a vector-borne zoonotic disease transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina species). The condition is caused by protozoa known as Trypanosomes.

Warm Blood Meal Increases Digestion Rate and Milk Protein Production to Maximize Reproductive Output for the Tsetse Fly, Glossina morsitans

Insects, 2022
The ingestion of blood represents a significant burden that immediately increases water, oxidative, and thermal stress, but provides a significant nutrient source to generate resources necessary for the development of progeny.

The Tsetse Metabolic Gambit: Living on Blood by Relying on Symbionts Demands Synchronization

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Tsetse flies have socioeconomic significance as the obligate vector of multiple Trypanosoma parasites, the causative agents of Human and Animal African Trypanosomiases.
