| human sleeping sickness in the gboko endemic area of nigeria. | human infection with trypanosoma gambiense in the gboko endemic area was first reported in may, 1974 although t. gambiense sleeping sickness had been present there since the turn of the century. the disease is associated with the presence of the tsetse glossina tachinoides and glossina palpalis which is plentiful and widespread throughout the division as well as in thickets along the streams in the area. no successful attempt has been made to control the tsetse vector in the division. the incide ... | 1976 | 13637 |

| Contrasting population structures of two vectors of African trypanosomoses in Burkina Faso: consequences for control. | 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 and Glossina tachinoides Westwood are the major vectors. A wide variety of control tactics is available to manage these vectors, but their removal will in most cases only be sustainable if the control effort is targeting an entire tsetse population within a circumscribed area. | 2011 | 21738812 |

| dynamics of tsetse natural infection rates in the mouhoun river, burkina faso, in relation with environmental factors. | in burkina faso, the cyclical vectors of african animal trypanosomoses (aat) are riverine tsetse species, namely glossina palpalis gambiensis vanderplank (g.p.g.) and glossina tachinoides westwood (g.t.) (diptera: glossinidae). experimental work demonstrated that environmental stress can increase the sensitivity of tsetse to trypanosome infection. seasonal variations of the tsetse infection rates were monitored monthly over 17 months (may 2006-september 2007) in two sites (douroula and kadomba). ... | 2013 | 24010125 |
| tsetse diversity and abundance in southern burkina faso in relation with the vegetation. | the increase of human population, combined with climatic changes, contributed to the modification of spatial distribution of tsetse flies, main vector of trypanosomiasis. in order to establish and compare tsetse presence and their relationship with vegetation, entomological survey was performed using biconical traps deployed in transects, simultaneously with phyto-sociological study, on the comoe river at its source in the village of moussodougou, and in the semi-protected area of folonzo, both ... | 2015 | 26040845 |
| genetic comparison of glossina tachinoides populations in three river basins of the upper west region of ghana and implications for tsetse control. | tsetse flies are the cyclical vectors of african animal trypanosomosis (aat) and human african trypanosomosis (hat). in march 2010, the government of ghana initiated a large scale integrated tsetse eradication campaign in the upper west region (uwr) (≈18,000 km(2)) under the umbrella of the pan-african tsetse and trypanosomosis eradication campaign (pattec). we investigated the structuring of glossina tachinoides populations within and between the three main river basins of the target area in th ... | 2014 | 24709401 |
| genetic signature of a recent southern range shift in glossina tachinoides in east burkina faso. | in the eastern part of burkina-faso, the riverine tsetse fly, glossina tachinoides westwood, transmits african animal trypanosomosis that constitute a major constraint to sub-saharan agriculture. to organize an efficient vector control campaign against this vector, it is crucial to identify and target isolated populations in order to prevent any risk of reinvasion. previous entomological data using traps in this part of the country have suggested that g. tachinoides has now become discontinuousl ... | 2013 | 23770115 |
| standardizing visual control devices for tsetse flies: west african species glossina tachinoides, g. palpalis gambiensis and g. morsitans submorsitans. | here we describe field trials designed to standardize tools for the control of glossina tachinoides, g. palpalis gambiensis and g.morsitans submorsitans in west africa based on existing trap/target/bait technology. blue and black biconical and monoconical traps and 1 m(2) targets were made in either phthalogen blue cotton, phthalogen blue cotton/polyester or turquoise blue polyester/viscose (all with a peak reflectance between 450-480 nm) and a black polyester. because targets were covered in ad ... | 2012 | 22348159 |
| prediction of the distribution of glossina tachinoides (diptera: glossinidae) in the volta basin of northern ghana. | the classification of a landsat thematic mapper satellite image helped demonstrate prevailing habitat types and land use intensity in the volta basin of the northern region of ghana. a geo-referenced data layer comprising the capture results of a cross-sectional survey of glossina tachinoides westwood was over-laid on a data layer of habitat types within 500 m of either bank of the volta river and its tributaries. an evaluation of the relationship between habitat types and the capture results of ... | 2005 | 15705216 |
| laboratory bioassays of deltamethrin, topically applied, during the hunger cycle of male glossina tachinoides. | the susceptibility of mature and immature male glossina tachinoides to topically applied deltamethrin was tested on successive days of their hunger cycle. both in mature and immature flies, significant changes in tolerance were observed correlated to the digestion of the bloodmeal. in mature tsetse, the fly's fat level is also correlated to its susceptibility. | 1996 | 9239941 |
| natural hosts of glossina tachinoides (diptera: glossinidae) in northern côte d'ivoire. | bloodmeal samples of g. tachinoides were taken at the comoé national parc in northern côte d'ivoire. the total of 1154 identified samples consisted mainly of ruminants (37%, whereof bushbuck represented 57%), hippopotamus (34%), and monitor lizard (19%). these proportions changed with the seasons. in the rainy season the portion of hippopotamus samples increased, whereas that of reptiles decreased. primate blood was identified only in samples taken in the dry season. | 1990 | 2166331 |
