The population genomics of multiple tsetse fly (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) admixture zones in Uganda

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2019
Understanding the mechanisms that enforce, maintain or reverse the process of speciation is an important challenge in evolutionary biology. This study investigates the patterns of divergence and discusses the processes that form and maintain divergent ...

African Trypanosomes undermine humoral responses and vaccine development : link with inflammatory responses? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
African trypanosomosis is a debilitating disease of great medical and socioeconomical importance. It is caused by strictly extracellular protozoan parasites capable of infecting all vertebrate classes including human, livestock, and game animals.

Genetic exchange in Trypanosoma brucei: evidence for mating prior to metacyclic stage development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
It is well established that genetic exchange occurs between Trypanosoma brucei parasites when two stocks are used to infect tsetse flies under laboratory conditions and a number of such crosses have been undertaken.

Activation of endocytosis as an adaptation to the mammalian host by trypanosomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Immune evasion in African trypanosomes is principally mediated by antigenic variation, but rapid internalization of surface-bound immune factors may contribute to survival.

Spatio-temporal distribution of Spiroplasma infections in the tsetse fly (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes) in northern Uganda

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2019
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are vectors of parasitic trypanosomes, which cause human (HAT) and animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Spermatophore in Glossina morsitans morsitans: Insights into Male Contributions to Reproduction. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016

Prevalence of symbionts and trypanosome infections in tsetse flies of two villages of the “Faro and Déo” division of the Adamawa region of Cameroon

open access: yesBMC 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

open access: yesBiomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research, 2019
Livestock are the main stay of the vast majority of African people. They contribute a large proportion of the continent’s gross domestic product and constitute a major source of foreign currency earning for a number of countries.

Equine trypanosomiasis, a systematic review: Disease management

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine trypanosomiasis is a neglected protozoal disease. Objectives To answer the study question: In equines what are the effects of disease management of trypanosomiasis on disease severity (individual level) and disease prevalence (population level) compared to no intervention? Study Design Systematic review.
