| structural modulations in the tsetse fly milk gland during a pregnancy cycle. | gross ultrastructural and histochemical details of the integumental milk glands of the tsetse fly glossina morsitans have been examined during the pregnancy cycle. structural evidence for protein secretion is found between days 3-8 of the nine-day cycle: termination of activity is completed on the day of parturition. onset of lactation is synchronized with the eclosion of the first instar larva. the changes in cell volume (notably in the extracellular reservoir) occurring throughout the pregnanc ... | 1975 | 1145609 |
| storage and sexual separation of glossina morsitans morsitans westwood puparia. | maintenance of unknown-age tsetse puparia at 4 degrees c for six days substantially reduced emergence; normal emergence occurred when puparia were held at temperatures of 12 degrees, 14 degrees, or 16 degrees c for two, three or four weeks, respectively. in-storage eclosion of adults was either suppressed completely at the temperatures used or was slight. weight, puparial duration, and density of puparia were examined in an attempt to detect sexual differences in puparia. there appeared to be no ... | 1975 | 1155998 |

| inhibition of diuresis in the tsetse fly (glossina morsitans) by ouabain and acetazolamide. | acetazolamide and ouabain, metabolic inhibitors which interfere with certain membrane transport systems, reduce the rate of water elimination by male glossina morsitans morsitans. the results suggest that water is transported across membranes during diuresis and that a ouabain sensitive na+k+atpase and an acetazolamide-sensitive carbonic anhydrase are involved in diuresis. | 1975 | 1157860 |

| quantitative ultrastructural investigations of the life cycle of trypanosoma brucei: a morphometric analysis. | the quantitative ultrastructure of the developmental stages of trypanosoma brucei brucei in its vector glossina morsitans was studied by morphometric analysis. values from ectoperitrophic midgut forms, proventricular forms, epimastigote and metacyclic forms in the salivary gland are compared with results from bloodstream forms, published previously. significant differences in the volume densities of the trypanosome's single mitochondrion, of microbody-like organelles and in the surface densities ... | 1975 | 1195156 |
| diuresis in the tsetse fly glossina austeni. | after taking a blood meal, the tsetse fly glossina austeni excretes the excess water and salts of the meal in approximately 30 min. during this period a volume of fluid equivalent to 80% of the unfed weight of the fly passes through the haemolymph, whose composition nevertheless remains almost constant. the fluid excreted has a higher sodium and lower potassium concentration than the haemolymph, indicating that sodium may be the prime mover in urine formation in glossina. | 1975 | 1202130 |
| the control of diuresis in the tsetse fly glossina austeni: a preliminary investigation of the diuretic hormone. | the rate of secretion of the malpighian tubules of glossina austeni is controlled by a diuretic hormone. this hormone is present in the nervous tissue of the fly together with a degradative enzyme that can be activated by boiling. it is demonstrated that the malpighian tubules are able to destroy the diuretic hormone; they may therefore participate in the control of diuresis. the diuretic hormone appears to be a heat-stable, non-dialysable, alcohol-soluble molecule, containing amino acid, glucos ... | 1975 | 1202131 |

| sumbionts in the female tsetse fly glossina morsitans morsitans. | a rickettsia-like symbiont, located in the ovaries of g. m. morsitans is maternally transmitted to the offspring via the egg. it is suggested that they may be essential for normal ovarian development. | 1975 | 806465 |
| pathogen transmission in relation to feeding and digestion by haematophagous arthropods. | the blood feeding habit, especially among opportunist feeders such as tabanids and stomoxys is known to result in transmission of diseases for which the vectors are not the obligate or alternate hosts. thus, mechanical transmission of trypanosomes such as t. vivax can occur in cattle herds outside tsetse fly areas where tabanids are actively feeding. in the case of yaws, mechanical transmission of the spirochaetes by eye flies (hippelates pallipes) in the west indies is thought to be most likely ... | 1975 | 240257 |
| active transport of sodium by the malpighian tubules of the tsetse fly glossian morsitans. | isolated malpighian tubules of glossina morsitans are able to transport sodium against its concentration gradient. their rate of secretion is dependent on the sodium concentration of the bathing medium. potassium must be present in the bathing solution for rapid secretion to be maintained, but it does not play an active role in fluid secretion. lithium and ammonium ions are able to substitute partially for sodium, other monovalent cations cannot. ouabain does not affect rapid secretion by glossi ... | 1976 | 180227 |

| fluid secretion by the malpighian tubules of the tsetse fly glossina morsitans: the effects of ouabain, ethacrynic acid and amiloride. | the effects of three inhibitors of sodium transport on the secretion of fluid by the malpighian tubules of glossina morsitans have been observed. the cardiac glycoside, ouabain, affects neither the rate of secretion nor the sodium concentration of the fluid secreted when isolated tubules are bathed by solutions containing a range of sodium and potassium concentrations. secretion is inhibited, however, by ethacrynic acid and amiloride. the results confirm that fluid secretion by the malpighian tu ... | 1976 | 1003084 |
| micro-organisms in the midgut of tsetse fly larvae. | two types of micro-organisms were found in the midgut of glossina morsitans larvae, a large gram-negative bacterial rod and a small gram-negative rickettsia-like micro-organism, although the occurrence of the rickettsial type is restricted. the location of these micro-organisms in a small area of the proventriculus of all three larval instars is discussed. the large micro-organisms resemble milk-gland bacteria, and further evidence is presented in support of a milk transmission hypothesis for th ... | 1976 | 1031837 |

| nutrition of glossina morsitans: metabolism of u-14c threonine during pregnancy. | following injection of u-14c threonine into the haemolymph of adult female glossina morsitans during late pregnancy, radioactivity was detected in the postparturient female and in its offspring, in threonine, lipids, and a range of non-essential amino acids. the level of radioactivity recovered from the larva was higher than that remaining in the injected adult, and the radioactivity recovered was considerably higher in the amino acid than in the lipid fraction. administration of labelled threon ... | 1976 | 8973 |
| development of trypanosoma (trypanozoon) brucei in glossina morsitans inoculated into the tsetse haemocoel. | classically, infective development of trypanosoma (trypanozoon) brucei in tsetse flies is thought to take the route crop-midgut-hindgut proventriculus-hypopharynx-salivary gland, where the parasites reach their infective phase. it has been shown experimentally that t. (t.) brucei is capable of developing up to the infective stage in g. morsitans following inoculation of bloodstream form trypanosomes into the haemocoel. the rabbit on which flies were maintained became infected 18 days after expos ... | 1976 | 8974 |
| physiology of an atp receptor in labellar sensilla of the tsetse fly glossina morsitans morsitans westw. (diptera: glossinidae). | electrophysiological recordings have been made from cells in the eight large, labellar sensilla of g. morsitans. one of these cells in each sensillum was shown to respond to atp over a concentration range of 10(-6)-10(-3) m. it was also sensitive to several other adenosine phophates, but much less sensitive to ctp, gtp and itp. the activity of the receptor was depressed below ph 7, and sometimes considerably increased above ph 9. these aspects the receptor's physiology support the results of beh ... | 1976 | 11268 |
| salivary secretion in wild glossina pallidipes austen. (diptera, glossinidae). | the salivation behaviour of wild g. pallidipes obtained from lambwe valley and kbwezi was studied. salivation was measured by counting the number of salivary drops secreted per minute and measuring the sizes of the stained saliva after drawing them with a camera lucida. the results confirmed observations obtained from laboratory bred flies. the quantity of saliva secreted by tsetse flies was significantly increased as the flies became hungrier. the proportion of flies salivating also increased w ... | 1976 | 14492 |
| nuclear coat and viruslike particles in the midgut epithelium of glossina morsitans sspp. | the ultrastructural aspects of the nuclear coat formation in midgut epithelial cells of pupae and adult flies of g. morsitans sspp. are described. out of four different species of glossina examined, this peculiar structure was only found in g. morsitans sspp. three different types of viruslike particles were found in midgut epithelial cells. one type which is of the same kind of particle found in the salivary glands, lies inside of cytoplasmic vesicles. two other types of particles were detected ... | 1976 | 14494 |
| lethal effect of tetracycline on tsetse flies following damage to bacterioid symbionts. | high mortality was observed in tsetse flies, glossina morsitans morsitans, that had had a single blood meal on rabbits which had previously been administered tetracycline complex salts. the death of the flies was apparently effected by the killing of the fly symbionts and the destruction of the mycetomes of the gut. it is suggested that tetracycline complex salts in the food or drink of livestock may be tried for the control of tsetse flies. | 1977 | 405237 |

| host preference and trypanosome infection rates of glossina morsitans morsitans westwood in the republic of zambia. | examination of data on the host preference and trypanosome infection rates of glossina morsitans morsitans westwood in central zambia showed a marked preference for suids (62%); bovids (17%), 'other mammals' (14%), primates (4%), reptiles (3%) and birds (less than 1%) accounted for the remaining feeds. trypanosome infection rates in g. m. morsitans were very low (0-3-66%), with higher rates in males; only vivax-type trypanosomes were encountered. the heterogeneity of monthly and seasonal infecti ... | 1977 | 849014 |
| long term variations in trypanosome infection rates in highly infected tsetse flies on a cattle route in south-western nigeria. | one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-seven male and 1988 female glossina morsitans submorsitans were dissected at ogbomosho, on a trade cattle route in south-western nigeria, from june 1970 to august 1973. of male flies, 1307 (65-45%) were infected by trypanosoma vivax trypanosomes, 66 (3-31%) by the subgenus nannomonas (congolense group) and three (0.15%) by the subgenus trypanozoon (brucei group). of flies, 1236 (62-17%) had t. vivax infections, 80 (4-02%) had infections of the subgenus nanno ... | 1977 | 849015 |

| the presence in salivary secretions of glossina morsitans of stages of trypanosoma (trypanozoon) brucei other than those occurring in the salivary glands. | using the bat wing membrane technique to study salivary secretions of glossina morsitans infected with trypanosoma (trypanozoon) brucei, it was shown that flies extrude infected salivary secretions as early as day six after an infective blood meal. the non-salivary-gland stages of t. (t.) brucei were extruded intermittently and flies infected with such trypanosomes were not all destined to develop metacyclic infections. once the salivary glands were involved, the trypanosomes appeared in the sec ... | 1978 | 569915 |
| cyclic amp is a likely mediator of ovulation in the tsetse fly. | ovulation in tsetse flies is normally induced by mating, but virgins can be stimulated to ovulate with an injection of dibutyryl cyclic amp, cholera toxin (a cyclic amp generator), or aminophylline (a phosphodiesterase inhibitor). thus, elevation of cyclic amp is a likely link in the events leading to ovulation. | 1978 | 216570 |

| a microscopical study of the innervation of flight muscles in the tsetse fly. | the gross morphology of the nervous system supplying the dorsal longitudinal flight muscles of tsetse flies is described. electron microscopical investigation of the nerves reveals that the dorsal longitudinal muscles are innervated by branches from four main axons. a detailed description of the neuromuscular junctions in the flight muscle is presented. | 1978 | 619162 |
| trypanosoma brucei-cultivation in vitro of infective forms derived from the midgut of glossina morsitans. | infective forms of trypanosoma brucei derived from the midgut of glossina morsitans, have been propagated in vitro for 61 days on a bovine embryonic spleen (besp) feeder layer using rpmi 1640 medium. it was reproducibly shown that only parasites cultured from the midgut of tsetse flies 12-14 hr after feeding on infected animals could be established in vitro. cultures thus established were infective to rats and tsetse flies. only midgut vector types of the parasites were identified by light and e ... | 1978 | 660382 |
| antigenic variation in trypanosomes. | in its mammalian host, trypanosoma brucei is able to change the antigenic character of its glycoprotein surface coat and so evade the host's immune response. this phenotypic change seems to occur spontaneously in 1 in 10,000 individuals but is not due to genetic mutation: host antibody is not necessary for its induction but plays a selective part in bringing about the gross changes in parasite numbers and antigenic character observed in the bloodstream by destroying the main component of what is ... | 1978 | 661969 |
| sex pheromone of the tsetse fly: isolation, identification, and synthesis of contact aphrodisiacs. | sex pheromones isolated from the cuticle of the female tsetse fly, glossina morsitans morsitans westwood, release mating behavior in the male fly at ultrashort range or upon contact with baited decoys. three active components were identified as 15,19-dimethylheptatriacontane, 17,21-dimethylheptatriacontane, and 15,19,23-trimethylheptatriacontane. chemical and biological comparisons show that the natural and synthetic compounds are identical. | 1978 | 675256 |

| sleeping sickness: in vitro cultivation of trypanosoma brucei from the salivary glands of glossina morsitans. | two strains of trypanosoma brucei were propagated from the salivary glands of 5 glossina morsitans for more than 200 days on a bovine embryonic spleen feeder layer using buffered rpmi 1640 medium supplemented with 20% bovine fetal serum. in the first 2 to 3 weeks of cultivation the density of parasites in the salivary glands and culture medium remained constant probably because of defective binary fission. the parasites were infective to rodents only on days 17 and 25. electron microscopic exami ... | 1978 | 739298 |
| the successful use of work oxen in agricultural development of tsetse infested land in ethiopia. | for the past five years a herd of work oxen, now numbering some 450 individuals, has been maintained under the protection of trypanocidal drugs on a settlement scheme in an area of western ethiopia infested with tsetse. this paper describes the environmental conditions and the epizootiology of trypanosomiasis in the oxen and in the vector, glossina morsitans. it is concluded that with the strategic use of drugs, oxen can be kept alive and perform useful agricultural work, in areas of high tsetse ... | 1978 | 746583 |

| excretion of uric acid and amino acids during diuresis in the adult female glossina morsitans. | radiometric analysis was carried out on the urine collected for one hour following feeding of the adult female glossina morsitans on day 1 of a pregnancy cycle, which had previously received haemocoelic injections of u-14c labelled arginine, histidine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, tyrosine or valine. mean radioactivity in the urine was quite high after labelled arginine (17.4% of injected activity) and histidine (21.8%) administration, most of the activity being in the amino acid f ... | 1978 | 31778 |
| studies on trypanosoma (nannomonas) congolense ii. observations on the cyclical transmission of three field isolates by glossina morsitans morsitans. | teneral flies of glossina morsitans morsitans were fed on mice infected with cloned and uncloned derivatives of three recent field isolates of trypanosoma (nannomonas) congolense. flies with mature infections were identified by the warm-slide probe method and phase-contrast microscopy. high infection rates were achieved when such flies were fed on mice at peak parasitaemia. the infection rates were low when flies were fed on mice prior to or late after peak parasitaemia. the duration of the deve ... | 1978 | 32753 |
| some effects of uninfected laboratory-reared tsetses (glossina morsitans morsitans westw.) (diptera: glossinidae) on host-rabbits. | rabbits (flemish giant x french lop-eared) exposed to 300 to 500 tsetses (glossina morsitans morsitans westw.) a day, 2 or 3 days a week, did not show significant differences from littermates receiving no exposure, with respect to weight changes, haematocrits, red and white blood cell counts or whole blood clotting times. in other rabbits, the same daily exposure, 6 days a week, resulted in sharp decreases in haematocrit levels and in some, changes in weights, but no change in citrated plasma th ... | 1978 | 32754 |
| the feeding habits and ecology of the tsetse fly glossina morsitans submorsitans newstead in relation to nagana transmission in the gambia. | the source of blood meals from 174 fed glossina morsitans submorsitans newstead, captured in malaise traps in savanna woodland in the gambia, were identified by the precipitin test. warthog accounted for 90% of the meals and single bushbuck and ox feeds were identified. nagana is a major problem in the area, but contact between tsetse and livestock is reduced by restricted grazing. in this situation, warthog, with a ubiquitous distribution, appear to be major maintenance hosts for g. m. submorsi ... | 1979 | 35933 |
| the endosymbionts of glossina morsitans and g. palpalis: cultivation experiments and some physiological properties. | pyruvate, malate, and succinate are the main substrates for bacteroid respiration; oxygen uptake can be inhibited by rotenone and antimycin a, but not by cyanide. the symbionts displayed limited growth and survival for over 80 days in a medium with succinate and pyruvate as main substrates, and supplemented with nucleotides. it was not possible to cultivate the endosymbionts of g. morsitans and g. palpalis intracellularly in cell cultures of the tsetse fly or of vertebrates. a high attraction be ... | 1979 | 43084 |
| [effect of bacterial infections and antibiotics on tsetse flies (diptera, glossinidae) (author's transl)]. | the membrane feeding technique (in vitro feeding) used for the rearing of tsetse flies has advantages over the conventional method of feeding the flies on host animals. however, as long as blood remains the sole source of tsetse fly nutrition, the risk remains of blood being contaminated during collection, storage or feeding with bacteria pathogenic to the flies. the resulting high mortality of the tsetse flies endangers the success of this rearing. the experiments described here have shown that ... | 1979 | 44947 |
| antigenic analysis by agglutination of trypanosoma brucei brucei parasitemias initiated in mice with in vitro-produced metacyclics. | trypanosomes from 14 first-peak parasitemias initiated in mice by injection of in vitro-produced metacyclics were stabilated. strains derived from these stabilates were analyzed for their antigenic composition by cross-agglutination with immune sera produced in rabbits against 12 of the stabilates. the antigenic composition of the 14 stabilates was compared also with two first-peak parasitemias from mice inoculated with fly-derived metacyclics, the variant-specific antigen of the strain used to ... | 1979 | 86245 |
| observations on the antigenicity and serological relationships of stocks of trypanosoma congolense from east and west africa. | antigenic relationships of 4 stocks of trypanosoma congolense from different parts of africa were examined by immunofluorescence (ifat) and neutralization tests. antisera to each stock were obtained from rabbits infected with trypanosomes transmitted by glossina morsitans. trypanosomes for use as antigens were obtained from local skin reactions developing on rabbits infected with 2 of the stocks. using the ifat and antisera at end-point dilutions approximately 40% of the trypanosomes fluoresced ... | 1979 | 94428 |
