| 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 |
| molecular identification of different trypanosome species and subspecies in tsetse flies of northern nigeria. | animal african trypanosomiasis (aat) is caused by several species of trypanosomes including trypanosoma congolense, t. vivax, t. godfreyi, t. simiae and t. brucei. two of the subspecies of t. brucei also cause human african trypanosomiasis. although some of them can be mechanically transmitted by biting flies; these trypanosomes are all transmitted by tsetse flies which are the cyclical vectors of trypanosoma congolense, t. godfreyi, t. simiae and t. brucei. we present here the first report asse ... | 2016 | 27216812 |
