Human population growth and the extinction of the tsetse fly

, 2013
Agricultural expansion is a major cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. In Africa, biologists have observed that the populations of some tsetse species, which transmit human and livestock trypanosomosis, decline or disappear as human populations grow and

Geospatial Analysis of Tsetse Infestation and Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Busia County, Kenya

Journal of Parasitology Research
African trypanosomiasis (AT) is a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma, primarily transmitted through the bite of infected tsetse flies in the genus Glossina.

Land cover and tsetse fly distributions in sub-Saharan Africa

, 2008
This study aims to provide trypanosomiasis-affected countries with standardized datasets and methodologies for mapping the habitat of the tsetse fly ( Glossina spp., the disease vector) by customizing and integrating state-of-the-art land cover maps on ...

Are tsetse fly populations close to equilibrium ? [PDF]

, 1996
Glossina or tsetse flies, the vector of sleeping sickness, form a unique group of insect with remarkable characteristics. They are viviparous with a slow rhythm of reproduction (one larva approximately every 10 days) determined by the regular ovulation ...
