Microarchitecture of the tsetse fly proboscis. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2017 Tsetse flies (genus Glossina) are large blood-sucking dipteran flies that are important as vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa. Tsetse anatomy has been well described, including detailed accounts of the functional anatomy of the proboscis for piercing host skin and sucking up blood.

A scoping review on tsetse fly blood meal sources and its assay methods since 1956 to 2022 [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are the definitive biological vectors of African trypanosomes in humans and animals. Controlling this vector is the most promising method of preventing trypanosome transmission.

Anaemia Associated with Trypanosomes Infections in Cattle of West Gojjam Zone, Northwest Ethiopia
Veterinary Medicine International, 2021 Background. African animal trypanosomosis is a major veterinary problem over a large area of the tsetse belt region of Africa. Anaemia is a cardinal sign of trypanosome infections.

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2022 Background. African trypanosomosis is a disease of both animals and humans resulting from infection with parasitaemic protozoa of the genus Trypanosoma transmitted mainly by the tsetse flies (Glossina species).

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.

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2021 Trypanosomosis is highly reliant on the distribution of vectors responsible for transmission. A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of bovine trypanosomosis as well as the distribution of vectors in

Perspectives on Odor-Based Control of Tsetse Flies in Africa
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiases are among the most neglected tropical diseases in sub-Sahara Africa. Although all tsetse species are susceptible to trypanosome infections, their differential attraction/feeding preferences for different wildlife ...

Targeting the tsetse-trypanosome interplay using genetically engineered Sodalis glossinidius.
PLoS Pathogens, 2022 Sodalis glossinidius, a secondary bacterial symbiont of the tsetse fly, is currently considered as a potential delivery system for anti-trypanosomal components interfering with African trypanosome transmission (i.e. paratransgenesis).
