Trypanotolerance Sheko cattle: an option for sustainable control of bovine trypanosomiasis
Open Veterinary Science, 2021 Trypanosomiasis is an impediment to cattle production and other agricultural development in tsetse-infested areas. It is a severe parasitic disease that causes loss in the production and performance of cattle.

Developing photoreceptor-based models of visual attraction in riverine tsetse, for use in the engineering of more-attractive polyester fabrics for control devices. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 Riverine tsetse transmit the parasites that cause the most prevalent form of human African trypanosomiasis, Gambian HAT. In response to the imperative for cheap and efficient tsetse control, insecticide-treated 'tiny targets' have been developed through ...

Serological responses and biomarker evaluation in mice and pigs exposed to tsetse fly bites. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BACKGROUND: Tsetse flies are obligate blood-feeding insects that transmit African trypanosomes responsible for human sleeping sickness and nagana in livestock.

Tsetse salivary gland proteins 1 and 2 are high affinity nucleic acid binding proteins with residual nuclease activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Analysis of the tsetse fly salivary gland EST database revealed the presence of a highly enriched cluster of putative endonuclease genes, including tsal1 and tsal2. Tsal proteins are the major components of tsetse fly (G.

Glossina spp. gut bacterial flora and their putative role in fly-hosted trypanosome development
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Human African trypanosomiasis is caused by trypanosomes transmitted to humans by the tsetse fly, in which they accomplish their development into their infective metacyclic form. The crucial step in parasite survival occurs when it invades the fly midgut.

BMC Microbiology, 2018 Background Tsetse flies are vectors of human and animal African trypanosomiasis. In spite of many decades of chemotherapy and vector control, the disease has not been eradicated. Other methods like the transformation of tsetse fly symbionts to render the
