Trypanosomiasis vector control in Africa and Latin America. [PDF]

, 2008
Vectors of trypanosomiasis - tsetse (Glossinidae) in Africa, kissing-bugs (Triatominae) in Latin America - are very different insects but share demographic characteristics that render them highly vulnerable to available control methods.

Mutualist-Provisioned Resources Impact Vector Competency

mBio, 2019
Many symbionts supplement their host’s diet with essential nutrients. However, whether these nutrients also enhance parasitism is unknown. In this study, we investigated whether folate (vitamin B9) production by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.) essential ...

Garlic‐Derived Behavioural Deterrents: Diallyl Disulfide and TrpA1‐Mediated Suppression of Insect Reproduction

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.

Interactions between trypanosomes and tsetse flies

, 2008
African trypanosomes are insect-borne parasites that cause sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in domesticated animals. Successful transmission is the outcome of crosstalk between the trypanosome and its insect vector, the tsetse fly. This enables the

Environmental data and tsetse numbers per trap in protected and tsetse invested areas in Nigeria

, 2020
This data set includes data from a tsetse (Glossina sp.) collection carried out in Nigeria between 2014 and 2016. Traps were employed for one to three days in four different National Parks, one Game Reserve and two tsetse invested areas.

Identification of Tsetse (Glossina spp.) using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
Glossina (G.) spp. (Diptera: Glossinidae), known as tsetse flies, are vectors of African trypanosomes that cause sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in domestic livestock.

A Role for Janus Cyclohexyl Ring Motifs in Medicinal Chemistry. Incorporation Into G‐Quadruplex Ligands and Anti‐Trypanosoma brucei Activity

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 21, 12 November 2026.
Naphthalene diimide (NDI) cores with peripheral fluorocyclohexyl ring systems are explored binding to G‐quadruplex DNA and were also assayed against the Trypanosoma brucei parasite. The most active compound of the series displayed nanomolar activity and suggested electrostatic interactions between the polarized cyclohexane and G‐Quad DNA.

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 ...

Tsetse distribution, trypanosome infection rates, and small-holder livestock producers’ capacity enhancement for sustainable tsetse and trypanosomiasis control in Busia, Kenya

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2020
Background Tsetse flies are the cyclical vectors of both human and animal diseases. Kenya’s commitment to eradicate tsetse and trypanosomiasis dates to the 1980s through various control approaches which were spearheaded by the African Union.

From Gas Phase to Protein Confinement: Characterizing the Conformational Landscape of 1‐Octen‐3‐ol in Bovine Odorant‐Binding Protein

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2026.
A joint venture of microwave spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, and existing crystallographic data, unravels how 1‐octen‐3‐ol reshapes its conformational ensembles across air, water, and the protein environment. Rather than simply preserving gas phase structure, the bovine OBP binding pocket allows 1‐octen‐3‐ol to broadly explore ...
