DOI: 10.1080/23754931.2017.1299634
Abstract: ABSTRACT Financial resources to control the tsetse fly, the primary vector of African trypanosomiasis, have declined since the 1970s. This decrease in funding is mainly due to the dissatisfaction of governments and development partners with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.0360
Abstract: Insects with restricted diets rely on obligate microbes to fulfil nutritional requirements essential for biological function. Tsetse flies, vectors of African trypanosome parasites, feed exclusively on vertebrate blood and harbour the obligate endosymbiont Wigglesworthia glossinidia.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010376
Abstract: Sodalis glossinidius, a secondary bacterial symbiont of the tsetse fly, is currently considered as a potential delivery system for anti-trypanosomal components interfering with African trypanosome transmission (i.e. paratransgenesis). Nanobodies (Nbs) have been proposed as potential… read more here.

Perspectives on Odor-Based Control of Tsetse Flies in Africa
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Physiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.831618
Abstract: Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiases are among the most neglected tropical diseases in sub-Sahara Africa. Although all tsetse species are susceptible to trypanosome infections, their differential attraction/feeding preferences for different wildlife, domestic animals, and/or humans constitute critical determinants… read more here.
