Tsetse fly microbiota: form and function [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Tsetse flies are the primary vectors of African trypanosomes, which cause Human and Animal African trypanosomiasis in 36 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. These flies have also established symbiotic associations with bacterial and viral microorganisms.

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Distinct, developmental stage-specific activation mechanisms of trypanosome VSG genes [PDF]
, 1990 The metacyclic form of African trypanosomes is the first to express genes for the Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) and it uses an unusually predictable subset of the VSG gene repertoire.

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, EarlyView.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 ...

African Trypanosomiasis Dynamics: Modelling the Effects of Treatment, Education, and Vector Trapping
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2020 African trypanosomiasis is a vector-borne disease that is mainly transmitted by infected tsetse flies. A deterministic model of tsetse fly vector, human, and cattle hosts is formulated and analyzed to gain insights into the disease dynamics. The roles of

Evidence for an interplay between cell cycle progression and the initiation of differentiation between life cycle forms of African trypanosomes [PDF]
, 1994 Successful transmission of the African trypanosome between the mammalian host blood-stream and the tsetse fly vector involves dramatic alterations in the parasite's morphology and biochemistry.
