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

Tsetse Fly (G.f. fuscipes) Distribution in the Lake Victoria Basin of Uganda
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 Tsetse flies transmit trypanosomes, the causative agent of human and animal African trypanosomiasis. The tsetse vector is extensively distributed across sub-Saharan Africa.

Comparative evaluation of the attractiveness of new polyethylene screens versus West African tiny target for the control of tsetse flies. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolThe material has no significant difference in captures (non‐shiny cotton‐polyester screens vs. the shiny polyethylene screens), but the vertical screen attracted significantly more G. tachinoides for each type of material. Full white horizontal screen was significantly lower than the reference WATT.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
