How monoxenous trypanosomatids revealed hidden feeding habits of their tsetse fly hosts.

Folia Parasitologica, 2021
Tsetse flies are well-known vectors of trypanosomes pathogenic for humans and livestock. For these strictly blood-feeding viviparous flies, the host blood should be the only source of nutrients and liquids, as well as any exogenous microorganisms ...

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).

Paratransgenic manipulation of a tsetse microRNA alters the physiological homeostasis of the fly’s midgut environment

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Tsetse flies are vectors of parasitic African trypanosomes, the etiological agents of human and animal African trypanosomoses. Current disease control methods include fly-repelling pesticides, fly trapping, and chemotherapeutic treatment of infected ...

Paratransgenic manipulation of tsetse miR275 alters the physiological homeostasis of the fly’s midgut environment

bioRxiv, 2021
Tsetse flies are vectors of parasitic African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma spp.). Current disease control methods include fly-repelling pesticides, trapping flies, and chemotherapeutic treatment of infected people.

Satellite-based modelling of potential tsetse (Glossina pallidipes) breeding and foraging sites using teneral and non-teneral fly occurrence data

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
African trypanosomiasis, which is mainly transmitted by tsetse flies (Glossina spp.), is a threat to public health and a significant hindrance to animal production.

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

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 ...
