Expansions of chemosensory gene orthologs among selected tsetse fly species and their expressions in Glossina morsitans morsitans tsetse fly [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Tsetse fly exhibit species-specific olfactory uniqueness potentially underpinned by differences in their chemosensory protein repertoire. We assessed 1) expansions of chemosensory protein orthologs in Glossina morsitans morsitans, Glossina pallidipes ...

Nature, 1896 IN the excellent review of the Tsetse fly-disease, which appeared in NATURE of April 16, Mr. Walter F. H. Blandford accepts with some reserve the observation made by Dr. David Bruce, that the fly is viviparous “as the fly has not yet been bred from the puparium.”

Tsetse EP Protein Protects the Fly Midgut from Trypanosome Establishment [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 African trypanosomes undergo a complex developmental process in their tsetse fly vector before transmission back to a vertebrate host. Typically, 90% of fly infections fail, most during initial establishment of the parasite in the fly midgut.

Allergic reactions associated with tsetse fly bites. [PDF]
Ann MedBackground Allergic reactions in response to arthropod bites are a growing concern worldwide. Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) is a red meat allergy associated with IgE antibodies against galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-Gal), typically linked to tick bites ...

Oxidative Phosphorylation Is Required for Powering Motility and Development of the Sleeping Sickness Parasite Trypanosoma brucei in the Tsetse Fly Vector. [PDF]
mBio, 2022 The single-celled parasite Trypanosoma brucei is transmitted by hematophagous tsetse flies. Life cycle progression from mammalian bloodstream form to tsetse midgut form and, subsequently, infective salivary gland form depends on complex developmental ...

Tsetse fly inspired steerable bone drill-a proof of concept. [PDF]
Front Bioeng Biotechnol, 2023 The fixation strength of pedicle screws could be increased by fixating along the much stronger cortical bone layer, which is not possible with the current rigid and straight bone drills. Inspired by the tsetse fly, a single-plane steerable bone drill was

Parasites and blood-meal hosts of the tsetse fly in Tanzania: a metagenomics study. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2022 Background Tsetse flies can transmit various Trypanosoma spp. that cause trypanosomiasis in humans, wild animals, and domestic animals. Amplicon deep sequencing of the 12S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene can be used to detect mammalian tsetse hosts, and the ...

Gene co-expression network analysis of Trypanosoma brucei in tsetse fly vector. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2021 Background Trypanosoma brucei species are motile protozoan parasites that are cyclically transmitted by tsetse fly (genus Glossina) causing human sleeping sickness and nagana in livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. African trypanosomes display digenetic life

Tsetse fly density and trypanosoma infection rate in Bedele and Dabo Hana districts of Buno Bedele Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. [PDF]
BMC Vet ResBackground Trypanosomiasis is an infectious disease caused by parasitic protozoa of the genus Trypanosome and primarily transmitted by tsetse flies. This study aimed to determine the density of tsetse flies and the rate of trypanosome infection in the ...
