Tsetse flies are bloodthirsty. Natives of sub-Saharan Africa, tsetse flies can transmit the microbe Trypanosoma when they take a blood meal. That’s the protozoan that causes African sleeping sickness ...
Mining the genome of the disease-transmitting tsetse fly, researchers have revealed the genetic adaptions that allow it to have such unique biology and transmit disease to both humans and animals. The ...
New Haven, Conn. — Yale scientists have for the first time identified a volatile pheromone emitted by the tsetse fly, a blood-sucking insect that spreads diseases in both humans and animals across ...
The tsetse fly (Genus Glossina) is notable for two things: it carries parasites called trypanosomes, which cause sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle in sub-Saharan Africa; and it gives ...
The Niayes region of western Senegal has a coastal microclimate well suited for exotic breeds of cattle, the kind that produce more milk and meat than domestic stock. Yet the area also suffers from ...
To combat disease-ridden tsetse flies in Africa, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is enlisting heavy-duty drones. An autonomous system has been developed by Embention, which can fly for ...
Tsetse fly. The tsetse fly is the biological vector of sleeping sickness, which can be deadly. New research shows how tsetse attractants for traps may be produced from yeast. Despite their innocuous ...
