A literature review of economic evaluations for a neglected tropical disease : human African trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") [PDF]

, 2015
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a disease caused by infection with the parasite Trypanosoma brucei gambiense or T. b. rhodesiense. It is transmitted to humans via the tsetse fly.

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.

Spiroplasma Are Protective Heritable Symbionts With Low Physiological Impact in the Drosophilid Fly Zaprionus kolodkinae

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Zaprionus kolodkinae flies carry a maternally inherited ixodetis clade Spiroplasma that protects its host against wasp attack but has low overall physiological impact. Genome analysis presented a set of known symbiosis‐relevant effectors, and one encoding—a ricin B domain protein—that is novel to this Spiroplasma genome.

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 ...

Integrative Genomics Identifies Candidate Genes Underlying Trypanotolerance in Hybrid African Cattle

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrative genomics combines data from different omics sources to link genotypes and phenotypes with the aim of unravelling biological networks and pathways that undergird complex traits, particularly with respect to disease. In this respect, integrative genomics, leveraging population and functional genomic data, can be employed to ...

Tsetse Fly Detection and Sex Classification Model Enrichment Employing YOLOv8 and YOLO11 Architecture

Applied AI Letters
The sterile insect technique (SIT) represents a highly effective and promising method for combating tsetse fly‐related infections, which involves the release of sterilized male tsetse flies in the assigned zones.

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.

Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 270-283, June 2026.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

Molecular detection of Sodalis glossinidius, Spiroplasma species and Wolbachia endosymbionts in wild population of tsetse flies collected in Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Tsetse flies are cyclical vectors of African trypanosomiasis (AT). The flies have established symbiotic associations with different bacteria that influence certain aspects of their physiology.

The Role of Sustainable Social Media Marketing Activities in Raising Bottom‐of‐the‐Pyramid Customers' Engagement, Satisfaction, and Subjective Well‐Being

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 5158-5174, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Though prior studies have explored the effects of firms' social media marketing activities on customer engagement, the dynamics characterizing this association in bottom‐of‐the‐pyramid (BoP) markets remain tenuous, exposing a critical gap. Addressing this gap, we develop and test a model assessing (a) the effects of firms' sustainable social ...
