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

open access: yesParasite 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

Targeting the tsetse-trypanosome interplay using genetically engineered Sodalis glossinidius.

open access: yesPLoS 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).
