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

Mixed infections of trypanosomes in tsetse and pigs and their epidemiological significance in a sleeping sickness focus of Côte d'Ivoire.

TL;DR: Differences in infection rates and in trypanosome genotypes according to the host might indicate that the pig may not be an active animal reservoir for humans in this focus of Côte d'Ivoire.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population Structuring of Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Diptera: Glossinidae) According to Landscape Fragmentation in the Mouhoun River, Burkina Faso

TL;DR: Wing geometry revealed significant centroid size and shape differences between populations, especially between the two most distant populations, and there was a positive correlation in females between metric distances (wing shape differences) and geographic distances that might be attributed to the cline of environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vector Competence of Glossina palpalis gambiensis for Trypanosoma brucei s.l. and Genetic Diversity of the Symbiont Sodalis glossinidius

TL;DR: Investigation of whether vector competence for a given trypanosome species could be linked to the presence of specific genotypes of S. glossinidius found variations in Glossina vector competence in the wild could lead to novel risk management strategies.
