TL;DR: The sequence and annotation of the 366-megabase Glossina mors Titans morsitans genome are described, providing a foundation for research into trypanosomiasis prevention and yield important insights with broad implications for multiple aspects of tsetse biology.

TL;DR: The factors that may be responsible for the reduced diversity of tsetse's gut microbiota compared to those of other insects are described and the implications of Wigglesworthia and Sodalis density variations as they relate to trypanosome transmission dynamics and vector competence variations associated with different tsete species are discussed.

TL;DR: This study provides a foundation on the molecular aspects of the trypanosome dialogue with its tsetse and mammalian hosts, necessary for future functional investigations.

TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of the cytoplasmic Wolbachia endosymbiont (cytWol) associated with Gmm is reported on to clarify the evolutionary history of the HGT events and their potential impacts on the control of tsetse populations and trypanosomiasis.

TL;DR: The immunity mechanisms that the insect utilizes to survive the potential threats involved in these interactions are highlighted and the recently discovered complex interactions among microbiota, sand fly, Leishmania and virus are discussed.
