Proteomic analysis of Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus virions for immune intervention in tsetse fly colonies [PDF]
Many species of tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) can be infected by a virus that causes salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH). The viruses isolated from Glossina pallidipes (GpSGHV) and Musca somestica (MdSGHV) have recently been sequenced.

African animal trypanosomiases are caused by trypanosomes cyclically or mechanically transmitted by tsetse and other biting flies. Although molecular tools have been developed to identify drug-resistant trypanosomes in mammals, little or no investigation

Genetic exchange in Trypanosoma brucei: evidence for mating prior to metacyclic stage development [PDF]
It is well established that genetic exchange occurs between Trypanosoma brucei parasites when two stocks are used to infect tsetse flies under laboratory conditions and a number of such crosses have been undertaken.

Half a Century of Tsetse and Animal Trypanosomosis Control on the Adamawa Plateau in Cameroon
The invasion of tsetse flies into the Adamawa plateau occurred in the 1950s and resulted in high mortality in cattle due to trypanosomosis and massive emigration of livestock owners from the infested regions.

Impact of an integrated control campaign on tsetse populations in Burkina Faso
Background Tsetse flies are the sole vectors of human and animal trypanosomosis. In Burkina Faso, a project aiming to create zones free of tsetse flies and trypanosomosis was executed from June 2006 to December 2013.

Epidemiology of Bovine Trypanosomosis and its Economic Impact in Tsetse-Infested and Tsetse-Free Areas of Amhara Region, North-West Ethiopi [PDF]
The epidemiology of bovine trypanosomosis was studied in tsetse-infested and tsetse-free areas of Amhara Regional State, North-West Ethiopia. A multidisciplinary work was undertaken to elucidate the key factors determining the presence of tsetse flies ...

Comparative clinico-haematological analysis in young Zebu cattle experimentally infected with Trypanosoma vivax isolates from tsetse infested and non-tsetse infested areas of Northwest Ethiopia [PDF]
Background: Ethiopia, particularly in the Northwest region, is affected by both tsetse and non-tsetse fly transmitted trypanosomosis, with significant impact on livestock productivity. The aim of this study was to determine and compare clinical findings

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