The prevalence of African animal trypanosomoses and tsetse presence in Western Senegal

Parasite, 2010
In 2005, the Government of Senegal initiated a tsetse eradication campaign in the Niayes and La Petite Côte aiming at the removal of African Animal Trypanosomosis (AAT), which is one of the main constraints to the development of more effective cattle ...

No evidence for direct thermal carryover effects on starvation tolerance in the obligate blood‐feeder, Glossina morsitans morsitans

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Thermal stress during development can prime animals to cope better with similar conditions in later life. Alternatively, negative effects of thermal stress can persist across life stages and result in poorer quality adults (negative carryover effects ...

Discovery of a Reversible Sub‐Picomolar Thrombin Inhibitor Using DCC

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
An ultrapotent yet fully reversible trivalent thrombin inhibitor discovered through screening a large dynamic combinatorial library (DCL) of 125 000 members of self‐assembled fragments. The innovative approach leverages size‐exclusion‐based affinity selection, coupled with MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry readout, enabling the full workflow to be completed ...

Split-Cre-mediated GFP expression as a permanent marker for flagellar fusion of Trypanosoma brucei in its tsetse fly host

mBio
Trypanosomes have different ways of communicating with each other. While communication via quorum sensing, or by the release and uptake of extracellular vesicles, is widespread in nature, the phenomenon of flagellar fusion has only been observed in ...

Self‐Transcendence and Self‐Enhancement Values as Drivers of Eco‐Travel Behavior. Implications for Business Strategies for Eco‐Tourism Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecotourism encourages environmentally friendly travel; however, little is known about the underlying value systems influencing travelers' choices and actions. This study uses a mixed‐method methodology that combines post hoc qualitative analysis with a large‐scale quantitative survey to examine the influence of multiple value dimensions on ...

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.

Spatial Distribution of Trypanosomes in Cattle From Western Kenya

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a tsetse-transmitted protozoan disease endemic in “the tsetse belt” of Africa. Past studies investigating the epidemiology of the disease rarely focused on spatial distribution when reporting the prevalence.

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Perspectives on Odor-Based Control of Tsetse Flies in Africa

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiases are among the most neglected tropical diseases in sub-Sahara Africa. Although all tsetse species are susceptible to trypanosome infections, their differential attraction/feeding preferences for different wildlife ...
