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 ...

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.

Expression of procyclin mRNAs during cyclical transmission of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2005
<i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>, the parasite causing human sleeping sickness, relies on the tsetse fly for its transmission. In the insect, EP and GPEET procyclins are the major surface glycoproteins of procyclic (midgut) forms of the parasite ...

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.

Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense transmitted by a single tsetse fly bite in vervet monkeys as a model of human African trypanosomiasis [PDF]

, 2008
Sleeping sickness is caused by a species of trypanosome blood parasite that is transmitted by tsetse flies. To understand better how infection with this parasite leads to disease, we provide here the most detailed description yet of the course of ...

Investigating the unaccounted ones: insights on age-dependent reproductive loss in a viviparous fly

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Most empirical and theoretical studies on reproductive senescence focus on observable attributes of offspring produced, such as size or postnatal survival. While harder to study, an important outcome of reproduction for a breeding individual is whether a

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.

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for the tsetse species Glossina brevipalpis and preliminary population genetics analyses

Parasite, 2023
Tsetse flies, the vectors of African trypanosomes are of key medical and economic importance and one of the constraints for the development of Africa.

The Tsetse Fly [PDF]

Nature, 1896
IN the excellent review of the Tsetse fly-disease, which appeared in NATURE of April 16, Mr. Walter F. H. Blandford accepts with some reserve the observation made by Dr. David Bruce, that the fly is viviparous “as the fly has not yet been bred from the puparium.”

Developing a national atlas to support the progressive control of tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Kenya

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is a major livestock disease in Kenya. Even though, over the years various organizations have collected a vast amount of field data on tsetse and AAT in different parts of the country, recent national-level ...
