Detecting bracoviral orthologs distribution in five tsetse fly species and the housefly genomes. [PDF]

BMC Res Notes, 2020
Objective Mutualism between endogenous viruses and eukaryotes is still poorly understood. Several endogenous double-stranded polydnaviruses, bracoviruses, homologous to those present in parasitic braconid wasp genomes were detected in the tsetse fly ...

Description of a Nanobody-based Competitive Immunoassay to Detect Tsetse Fly Exposure [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
BACKGROUND:Tsetse flies are the main vectors of human and animal African trypanosomes. The Tsal proteins in tsetse fly saliva were previously identified as suitable biomarkers of bite exposure. A new competitive assay was conceived based on nanobody (Nb)

Microarchitecture of the tsetse fly proboscis [PDF]

Parasites & 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]

Parasit Vectors
Background 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.

Glossina pallidipes Density and Trypanosome Infection Rate in Arba Minch Zuria District of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

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).
