Learning Affects Host Preference in Tsetse Flies

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2005
Tsetse flies are very efficient cyclic vectors of African trypanosomosis. Since tsetse are generally infected by the first blood meal, as in the case of sleeping sickness for example, any propensity to feed on the same host a second time will improve ...

The Effect of Deltamethrin-Treated Net Fencing Around Cattle Enclosures on Outdoor-biting Mosquitoes in Kumasi, Ghana. [PDF]

, 2012
Classic vector control strategies target mosquitoes indoors as the main transmitters of malaria are indoor-biting and -resting mosquitoes. However, the intensive use of insecticide-treated bed-nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying have put selective ...

Tsetse Flies (Glossina) as Vectors of Human African Trypanosomiasis: A Review

BioMed Research International, 2016
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) transmitted by the tsetse fly continues to be a public health issue, despite more than a century of research. There are two types of the disease, the chronic gambiense and the acute rhodesiense-HAT.

Comparative performance of traps in catching tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) in Tanzania

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2016
This study was conducted to determine the efficiency of different tsetse traps in 28 sites across Tanzania. The traps used were biconical, H, NGU, NZI, pyramidal, S3, mobile, and sticky panels.
