Interactions between Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus and tsetse endosymbionts in wild tsetse populations

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Tsetse control is considered an effective and sustainable tactic for the control of cyclically transmitted trypanosomosis in the absence of effective vaccines and inexpensive, effective drugs.

Beyond the Black Box: Reproductive Strategies of the Black Soldier Fly as a Model for Bridging Evolutionary Biology and Applied Entomology

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) is rapidly emerging as a model for evolutionary biology and insect biotechnology. Although larval biology has been extensively characterised, the reproductive biology of adults remains comparatively understudied.

Tsetse Fly Detection and Sex Classification Model Enrichment Employing YOLOv8 and YOLO11 Architecture

Applied AI Letters
The sterile insect technique (SIT) represents a highly effective and promising method for combating tsetse fly‐related infections, which involves the release of sterilized male tsetse flies in the assigned zones.

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

Long‐Term Evolution Under Heatwave Conditions in the Seed Beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Here, using the seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, we investigated the long‐term effects of evolution after 43 generations of fluctuating temperature with added heatwave exposure on two important life history traits, development time and lifetime reproductive success (LRS).

Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Tsetse Fly) [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2020
Glossina palpalis gambiensis is a riverine tsetse species endemic in West Africa and thriving in riparian vegetation of the savannah areas from Burkina Faso and Mali to Guinea and Senegal. It is a major vector of human and animal trypanosomosis (sleeping sickness and nagana, respectively) in that region. G. p.

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 547-565, April 2026.
The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...
