Patterns of tsetse abundance and trypanosome infection rates among habitats of surveyed villages in Maasai steppe of northern Tanzania

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2017
Background Changes of land cover modify the characteristics of habitat, host-vector interaction and consequently infection rates of disease causing agents. In this paper, we report variations in tsetse distribution patterns, abundance and infection rates

Glycosomal Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase CRISPR/Cas9‐Deletion and Its Role in Trypanosoma cruzi Metacyclogenesis and Infectivity in Mammalian Host

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
Effects of PEPCK deficiency in Trypanosoma cruzi bioenergetics and life stages. ABSTRACT Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, possesses glycosomes—unique organelles that house key metabolic enzymes, several of which are promising therapeutic targets.

Equine trypanosomiasis, a systematic review: Disease management

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 320-332, March 2026.
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.

Stunning Intricacies of RNA Editing Complexes RECC, RESC, and REH2C: Functional Organization, Developmental Regulation, and Evolutionary History in Kinetoplastid Protists

WIREs RNA, Volume 17, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
U‐indel RNA editing targets mRNA:gRNA duplexes through three key complexes that collectively govern assembly, specificity, catalysis, and developmental regulation. Modern tools, including artificial intelligence, analyze the organization, dynamics, and evolution of the remarkable holo‐editosome, opening new avenues in RNA biology and therapy.

Technical data of the transcriptomic analysis performed on tsetse fly symbionts, Sodalis glossinidius and Wigglesworthia glossinidia, harbored, respectively by non-infected, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense infected and self-cured Glossina palpalis gambiensis tsetse flies

Genomics Data, 2015
Microarray is a powerful and cheap method to identify and quantify gene expression in particular in a mix of total RNA extracted from biological samples such as the tsetse fly gut, including several organisms (here, the fly tissue and the intestinal ...

Practical and Ethical Issues in Big Data and Machine Learning Forecasts of Zambian Community Forestry Engagement

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Approaches integrating geospatial “big data” and machine learning will likely be increasingly used to predict conservation‐related human behavior, such as patterns of local engagement, in socioecological systems. Yet, few studies evaluate both the technical and ethical aspects of such applications.

Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 285-295, March 2026.
Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.

Equine trypanosomiasis, a systematic review and meta‐analyses: Prevalence, morbidity and mortality

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 291-319, March 2026.
Abstract Background Equine trypanosomiasis is a neglected protozoal disease. Objectives To perform a systematic search of literature to explore: (1) In equines what is the global geographical distribution and prevalence of trypanosomiasis? In low and middle‐income countries (LMICs) is trypanosomiasis more prevalent than in higher‐income countries (HICs)

A colour opponent model that explains tsetse fly attraction to visual baits and can be used to investigate more efficacious bait materials.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Palpalis group tsetse flies are the major vectors of human African trypanosomiasis, and visually-attractive targets and traps are important tools for their control. Considerable efforts are underway to optimise these visual baits, and one factor that has
