LMU researchers have deciphered a crucial signaling mechanism that enables trypanosomes to reach the salivary glands of the flies. Tsetse flies are common across much of Africa. They feed on the blood ...

Scientists have identified a volatile pheromone emitted by the tsetse fly, a blood-sucking insect that spreads diseases in both humans and animals across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The discovery ...

The mammoth task of controlling tsetse flies, which spread sleeping sickness, in Sub-Saharan Africa could be made cheaper with the development of a more efficient insecticide-treated trap. Some types ...

Few animals are more problematic than the tiny African insect known to English speakers as the tsetse fly. This is the carrier of "sleeping sickness," an often deadly neurological illness in humans, ...

Methods are lacking for controlling the spread of disease among humans and livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Now, a new insight into how tsetse flies mate could bolster the arsenal of tools to manage ...

New Haven, Conn. – An international team of researchers led by the Yale School of Public Health has successfully sequenced the genetic code of the tsetse fly, opening the door to scientific ...

One evening a small column of white, four-wheel drive cars passed through the villages of the Great Rift Valley in southern Ethiopia, in a chocolate smell of long-dry earth wetted by the early rains.

Researchers have developed a new chemical method applied to a byproduct of cashew nuts that could make it easier to trap tsetse flies and open new revenue streams for nut producers in sub-Saharan ...

CARP3 is a flagellar tip regulator of social motility (SoMo) and is essential for colonization of tsetse fly salivary glands. a SoMo assays of procyclic T. brucei AnTat 1.1 wild type (WT), carp3 knock ...
