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 ...

Nature, 1896 IN the excellent review of the Tsetse fly-disease, which appeared in NATURE of April 16, Mr. Walter F. H. Blandford accepts with some reserve the observation made by Dr. David Bruce, that the fly is viviparous “as the fly has not yet been bred from the puparium.”

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).

A landscape and climate data logistic model of tsetse distribution in Kenya. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Trypanosoma spp, biologically transmitted by the tsetse fly in Africa, are a major cause of illness resulting in both high morbidity and mortality among humans, cattle, wild ungulates, and other species.
