Patterns of microbiome composition in tsetse fly Glossina palpalis palpalis during vector control using Tiny Targets in Campo, South Cameroon [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Novel vector control tools against African trypanosomiases require a deep understanding of the factors driving tsetse vector fitness or population resilience in their ecosystems.

A scoping review on tsetse fly blood meal sources and its assay methods since 1956 to 2022 [PDF]

Parasites & 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.

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).

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 ...

Epidemiological investigation of bovine trypanosomosis and distribution of vectors in Jimma zone, Ethiopia

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
