Genome sequence of the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans ): Vector of African trypanosomiasis

Junichi Watanabe, +147 more
- 25 Apr 2014 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insecticide resistance and its association with target-site mutations in natural populations of Anopheles gambiae from eastern Uganda

TL;DR: The association between DDT resistance and the presence of L1014S is consistent with a co-dominant effect, with heterozygous individuals showing an intermediate phenotype, and the distribution and prevalence of insecticide resistance and its association with target-site mutations in eastern Uganda is collected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of Multiple Tsetse Fly Populations in Uganda Reveals Limited Diversity and Species-Specific Gut Microbiota

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glossina fuscipes populations provide insights for human African trypanosomiasis transmission in Uganda.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present knowledge on the population genetics of the major vector species Glossina Fuscipes fuscipes in Uganda with a focus on population structure, measures of gene flow between populations, and the occurrence of polyandry.
