Abstract: Tsetse flies significantly impact public health and economic development in sub-Saharan African countries by transmitting the fatal disease African trypanosomiasis. Unusually, instead of laying eggs, tsetse birth a single larva that immediately burrows into the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0273543
Abstract: Tsetse flies use antennal expressed genes to navigate their environment. While most canonical genes associated with chemoreception are annotated, potential gaps with important antennal genes are uncharacterized in Glossina morsitans morsitans. We generated antennae-specific transcriptomes… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects14040397
Abstract: Simple Summary Tsetse flies transmit Trypanosoma parasites, which cause severe diseases in humans and animals. To reduce the number of tsetse flies, male flies are sterilized through irradiation and released into the field to compete… read more here.
