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 ...

Developing a national atlas to support the progressive control of tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Zambia [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the sole cyclical vectors of African trypanosomosis, a parasitic disease affecting both animals and humans.

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 ...

Allergic reactions associated with tsetse fly bites [PDF]
Annals of MedicineBackground Allergic reactions in response to arthropod bites are a growing concern worldwide. Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) is a red meat allergy associated with IgE antibodies against galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-Gal), typically linked to tick bites ...

Interactions between Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus and tsetse endosymbionts in wild tsetse populations [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Tsetse control is considered an effective and sustainable tactic for the control of cyclically transmitted trypanosomosis in the absence of effective vaccines and inexpensive, effective drugs.

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
