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.

Multiple Trypanosoma infections are common amongst Glossina species in the new farming areas of Rufiji district, Tanzania

Parasites & Vectors, 2011
Background Tsetse flies and trypanosomiasis are among several factors that constrain livestock development in Tanzania. Over the years Rufiji District was excluded from livestock production owing to tsetse fly infestation, however, a few years ago there ...

Diversity of tsetse flies and trypanosome species circulating in the area of Lake Iro in southeastern Chad

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background African trypanosomiases are vector-borne diseases that affect humans and livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Although data have been collected on tsetse fauna as well as trypanosome infections in tsetse flies and mammals in foci of sleeping ...

Spatial analysis of G.f.fuscipes abundance in Uganda using Poisson and Zero-Inflated Poisson regression models

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Background Tsetse flies are the major vectors of human trypanosomiasis of the form Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T.b.gambiense. They are widely spread across the sub-Saharan Africa and rendering a lot of challenges to both human and animal health ...

Evidence-based advice on timing and location of tsetse control measures in Shimba Hills National reserve, Kenya.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
Controlling tsetse flies is critical for effective management of African trypanosomiasis in Sub-Saharan Africa. To enhance timely and targeted deployment of tsetse control strategies a better understanding of their temporal dynamics is paramount.

Large-scale and significant expression from pseudogenes in Sodalis glossinidius – a facultative bacterial endosymbiont [PDF]

, 2020
The majority of bacterial genomes have high coding efficiencies, but there are some genomes of intracellular bacteria that have low gene density. The genome of the endosymbiont Sodalis glossinidius contains almost 50 % pseudogenes containing mutations ...

Interpreting Morphological Adaptations Associated with Viviparity in the Tsetse Fly Glossina morsitans (Westwood) by Three-Dimensional Analysis

Insects, 2020
Tsetse flies (genus Glossina), the sole vectors of African trypanosomiasis, are distinct from most other insects, due to dramatic morphological and physiological adaptations required to support their unique biology.

Experimental evaluation of xenodiagnosis to detect trypanosomes at low parasitaemia levels in infected hosts

Parasite, 2011
In Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT) endemic areas, there are a number of subjects that are positive to serological tests but in whom trypanosomes are difficult to detect with the available parasitological tests.

More than meets the eye: understanding Trypanosoma brucei morphology in the tsetse

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
T. brucei, the causative parasite for African trypanosomiasis, faces an interesting dilemma in its life cycle. It has to successfully complete its infection cycle in the tsetse vector to be able to infect other vertebrate hosts. T.
