genome sequence of the tsetse fly (glossina morsitans): vector of african trypanosomiasis.	tsetse flies are the sole vectors of human african trypanosomiasis throughout sub-saharan africa. both sexes of adult tsetse feed exclusively on blood and contribute to disease transmission. notable differences between tsetse and other disease vectors include obligate microbial symbioses, viviparous reproduction, and lactation. here, we describe the sequence and annotation of the 366-megabase glossina morsitans morsitans genome. analysis of the genome and the 12,308 predicted protein-encoding ge ...	0	24763584
a comparative analysis of reproductive biology of insect vectors of human disease.	studying the reproductive strategies of insect species that transmit diseases to humans can identify new exploitable targets for the development of vector control methods. here we describe shared characteristics and individual features of the reproductive biology of three major disease vectors: anopheles gambiae, aedes aegypti and glossina morsitans. current studies are identifying i) species-specific molecular cascades that determine female monandrous behavior, ii) core aspects of egg developme ...	0	26140265
analysis of lipolysis underlying lactation in the tsetse fly, glossina morsitans.	female tsetse flies undergo viviparous reproduction, generating one larva each gonotrophic cycle. larval nourishment is provided by the mother in the form of milk secretions. the milk consists mostly of lipids during early larval development and shifts to a balanced combination of protein and lipids in the late larval instars. provisioning of adequate lipids to the accessory gland is an indispensable process for tsetse fecundity. this work investigates the roles of brummer lipase (bmm) and the a ...	0	22509523

the feeding habits of glossina.	the feeding habits of 15 species of glossina have been studied by the identification of their blood meals. representative samples of the blood meals from each of these species of tsetse fly and from different habitats were collected and 22 640 blood meals were identified. the feeding patterns are characteristic for each species of tsetse fly and do not appear to depend entirely on the availability of different hosts, suggesting that the feeding habits of glossina are genetically determined. howe ...	1963	13999790

tsetse-fly physiology. a review of recent advances and current aims.	a review of the literature on tsetse-fly physiology published during the last decade shows that substantial advances have been made in elucidation of the problem of water balance, and in the fields of reproductive and developmental physiology. it is suggested that further studies of reproduction, with particular reference to the reproductive potential of natural populations, are urgently needed; and also that research could fruitfully be directed towards an assessment of the role of starvation a ...	1963	14017193
human trypanosomiasis in south-east uganda. a further study of the epidemiology of the disease among fishermen and peasant cultivators.	during the past two decades there has been an increase in the incidence and spread of sleeping-sickness due to trypanosoma rhodesiense throughout the north-eastern shore area of lake victoria; this increase has been associated with heightened finishing activity and increasing and irregular settlement of the tsetse-fly belt of south-east uganda.the author describes a number of epidemiological factors affecting the occurrence of the disease among fishermen, placing emphasis on the correct developm ...	1963	13974352
the distribution of the vectors of african pathogenic trypanosomes.	the author lists the species, subspecies and races of tsetse fly now recognized in three morphologically distinct groups. the distribution of each group is mapped and described in relation to climate and vegetation, with some indication of the part played by past climates and orogenies in determining the modern pattern. the importance of different species as vectors of human or bovine trypanosomiasis, or both, is noted, and examples are given of the part played by human settlement as a secondary ...	1963	13958704
tsetse-fly control and eradication.	in many instances the cheapest and quickest way of controlling trypanosomiasis is to reduce the number of vectors and the opportunities for contact between man and vector. for permanent results, moreover, eradication of the vectors is necessary, since eradication of trypanosomiasis by chemotherapeutic means has so far not proved feasible.for a variety of reasons, game destruction as a method of fly control is gradually being replaced by other methods. of these, the complete removal of bush cover ...	1963	13963757
the effects of trypanosomiasis on rural economy with special reference to the sudan, bechuanaland and west africa.	trypanosomiasis, both of humans and of livestock, is one of the most important factors restricting economic development in africa today. the present paper outlines how this disease is limiting agricultural, veterinary and forestry development in the sudan, bechuanaland and west africa.the present tsetse-fly distribution is reviewed. glossina palpalis and g. morsitans occur in the south sudan and g. morsitans in the ngamiland district of bechuanaland; g. morsitans, g. palpalis and g. tachinoides ...	1963	14001093

the maintenance of a laboratory colony of glossina morsitans since 1959.	the authors present the results of the first successful attempt to rear a single-line colony of glossina in the laboratory. starting with 43 adults (21 males and 22 females) which emerged in the laboratory from g. morsitans pupae from mozambique, this colony has been maintained under controlled environmental conditions at the lisbon institute of tropical medicine since 1959.guinea-pigs are used as the sole food source, and are offered to the tsetse flies daily for six days each week.the colony k ...	1964	14277262
