Abstract: Trypanosomiasis, transmitted by tsetse flies (Glossina spp.), poses a significant health threat in 36 sub‐Saharan African countries. Current control methods targeting tsetse flies, while effective, allow reinfestation. This study investigates paratransgenesis, a novel strategy to… read more here.
