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
Insight into the Transmission Biology and Species-Specific Functional Capabilities of Tsetse (Diptera: Glossinidae) Obligate Symbiont Wigglesworthia

TL;DR: The role of flagella during the vertical transmission process from mother to intrauterine progeny was confirmed and immunohistochemistry confirmed, and significant levels of transcriptional regulation and support development- and tissue-specific functional roles for the symbiosis previously not observed in obligate mutualist symbionts were demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leeches and their microbiota: naturally simple symbiosis models
TL;DR: In this review, three distinct leech-microbe associations are described: the mycetome, which is the large symbiont-containing organ associated with the esophagus; the nephridia and bladders that form the excretory system; and the digestive tract, where two bacterial species dominate the microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of multiple symbiont density regulation during host development: tsetse fly and its microbial flora
TL;DR: The regulation of symbiont density, arising from coadaptive processes, may be an important mechanism driving inter-specific relations to ensure their competitive survival and to promote specialization of beneficial associations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grandeur Alliances: Symbiont Metabolic Integration and Obligate Arthropod Hematophagy.
TL;DR: In this article, metabolic contributions of bacterial symbionts that reside within tsetse flies, bed bugs, lice, reduviid bugs, and ticks are highlighted, with specific emphasis on B vitamin and cofactor biosynthesis.
