Caught in a trap: DNA contamination in tsetse xenomonitoring can lead to over-estimates of Trypanosoma brucei infection.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundTsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are vectors of Trypanosoma brucei subspecies that cause human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Capturing and screening tsetse is critical for HAT surveillance.

Molecular Genetics of Hepatozoon canis With a Note on Effect of Parasite on the Complete Blood Count Profile of Canine Hosts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
A total of 654 blood samples were collected from healthy dogs in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in Pakistan and screened for the presence of Hepatozoon canis. Genetic diversity of the detected H. canis DNA, infection‐associated risk factors, and changes in the complete blood count of the host due to parasitic activity were also evaluated.

Translocation of livestock‐raiding lions under specific conditions can mitigate conflict

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human‐wildlife conflict is a pervasive threat that imperils many carnivore species worldwide, and although translocation is often used as a conflict mitigation strategy, it is widely regarded as ineffective. Here, we demonstrate that careful selection of suitable release sites can improve outcomes, as 80% of stock‐raiding lion translocations in ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Feeding performance of tsetse flies.

, 2013
Feeding efficiency (feeding time and blood meal size) of uninfected (SG-) and T. brucei salivary gland infected (SG+) tsetse flies. The reported feeding time is the total time that individual flies needed for the pre-feeding probing and the actual ...

Mathematical modelling and control of African animal trypanosomosis with interacting populations in West Africa-Could biting flies be important in main taining the disease endemicity?

PLoS ONE, 2020
African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is transmitted cyclically by tsetse flies and mechanically by biting flies (tabanids and stomoxyines) in West Africa. AAT caused by Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax and T.
