| population structuring of glossina palpalis gambiensis (diptera: glossinidae) according to landscape fragmentation in the mouhoun river, burkina faso. | the impact of landscape fragmentation due to human and climatic mediated factors on the structure of a population of glossina palpalis gambiensis vanderplank (diptera: glossinidae) was investigated in the mouhoun river basin, burkina faso. allele frequencies at five microsatellite loci, and metric properties based on 11 wing landmarks, were compared between four populations. the populations originated from the mouhoun river and one of its tributaries. the average distance between samples was 72 ... | 2007 | 17915509 |
| population structuring of the tsetse glossina tachinoides resulting from landscape fragmentation in the mouhoun river basin, burkina faso. | the impact of landscape fragmentation resulting from human- and climate-mediated factors on the structure of a population of glossina tachinoides westwood (diptera: glossinidae) in the mouhoun river basin, burkina faso, was investigated. allele frequencies at five microsatellite loci were compared in four populations. the average distance between samples was 72 km. the sampling points traversed an ecological cline in terms of rainfall and riverine forest ecotype, along a river loop that enlarged ... | 2010 | 20141594 |
| a phyto-sociological analysis of the distribution of riverine tsetse flies in burkina faso. | in burkina faso, glossina palpalis gambiensis vanderplank and g. tachinoides westwood (diptera: glossinidae) are the main cyclic vectors of trypanosomiasis. the vegetation type along river banks is an important factor determining the distribution and abundance of these tsetse. the following work investigated the relation between the plant species present (including the disturbance level) and tsetse distribution and abundance, using three ecotypes, described by p.c. morel in 1978. these were the ... | 2005 | 16336302 |
| trypanosome characterization by polymerase chain reaction in glossina palpalis gambiensis and g.tachinoides from burkina faso. | following the discovery of four cases of african human trypanosomiasis, an entomological survey was conducted along the mouhoun river in southwest burkina faso to collect glossina palpalis gambiensis and g.tachinoides. among 226 flies dissected, 4.87% (eleven individuals) were infected in midgut or proboscis, but never in the salivary glands. polymerase chain reaction analysis was undertaken, and was able to characterize all the proboscis infections, and half of the midgut infections. only trypa ... | 1996 | 8994137 |
| population structure of glossina palpalis gambiensis (diptera: glossinidae) between river basins in burkina faso: consequences for area-wide integrated pest management. | african animal trypanosomosis is a major obstacle to the development of more efficient and sustainable livestock production systems in west africa. riverine tsetse species such as glossina palpalis gambiensis vanderplank are their major vectors. a wide variety of control tactics is available to manage these vectors, but their elimination will only be sustainable if control is exercised following area-wide integrated pest management (aw-ipm) principles, i.e. the control effort is targeting an ent ... | 2010 | 20060501 |
| fragmentation analysis for prediction of suitable habitat for vectors: example of riverine tsetse flies in burkina faso. | tsetse flies are the cyclic vectors of sleeping sickness and african animal trypanosomosis. the possibility to classify the natural habitat of riverine tsetse species is explored in the mouhoun river basin, burkina faso: the objectives were to discriminate the riverine forests community types and their fragmentation levels by using landsat 7 enhanced thematic mapper images, to map tsetse densities. glossina palpalis gambiensis vanderplank 1949 (diptera: glossinidae) and g. tachinoides westwood, ... | 2008 | 19058646 |
