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 Bayesian geostatistical Moran Curve model for estimating net changes of tsetse populations in Zambia [PDF]

, 2014
For the first time a Bayesian geostatistical version of the Moran Curve, a logarithmic form of the Ricker stock recruitment curve, is proposed that is able to give an estimate of net change in population demographic rates considering components such as ...
