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.
