Multidisciplinary study of landscape in tsetse area, Angurai, Teso District (Western Kenya). M1E [PDF]

, 2003
Due to the rampant trypanosomosis epidemics in Africa, international organisations developed a Programme Against African Trypanosomosis (PAAT). The Farming in Tsetse Controlled Areas (FITCA) project in Kenya, which was launched in July 2001, is a ...

Large-scale and significant expression from pseudogenes in Sodalis glossinidius – a facultative bacterial endosymbiont [PDF]

, 2020
The majority of bacterial genomes have high coding efficiencies, but there are some genomes of intracellular bacteria that have low gene density. The genome of the endosymbiont Sodalis glossinidius contains almost 50 % pseudogenes containing mutations ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐based white pupae mutant lines in Bactrocera spp. for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

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.

Thioester‐containing proteins in the tsetse fly (Glossina) and their response to trypanosome infection

Insect molecular biology (Print), 2018
Thioester‐containing proteins (TEPs) are conserved proteins with a role in innate immune immunity. In the current study, we characterized the TEP family in the genome of six tsetse fly species (Glossina spp.).

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Population vulnerability and disability in Kenya's tsetse fly habitats. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), also referred to as sleeping sickness, and African Animal Trypanosomaisis (AAT), known as nagana, are highly prevalent parasitic vector-borne diseases in sub-Saharan Africa.

Unravelling the relationship between the tsetse fly and its obligate symbiont Wigglesworthia: transcriptomic and metabolomic landscapes reveal highly integrated physiological networks

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Insects with restricted diets rely on obligate microbes to fulfil nutritional requirements essential for biological function. Tsetse flies, vectors of African trypanosome parasites, feed exclusively on vertebrate blood and harbour the obligate ...

Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.

Another Fossil Tsetse Fly [PDF]

Nature, 1909
IN NATURE, August 22, 1907, I reported the discovery of a tsetse-fly (Glossina) in the Miocene shales of Florissant, Colorado. In going over the materials collected in the same locality in 1908, I find a second species of the same genus. It is preserved showing the lateral aspect, the abdomen arched dorsally, and the proboscis evident, though imperfect.
