| [redistribution of glossina in a forest area of ivory coast?]. | historically the region of abengourou is a well-known of sleeping sickness in the forest area of cote d'ivoire. however data from epidemiologic studies carried out since 1980 show that this area is currently disease-free. this finding warrants study of glossina vectors to clarify the epidemiology of the disease in this area. entomologic surveys were carried out over a period of one year. traps were used to capture glossina in ten natural habitats: villages with or without pigs, coffee, cocoa and ... | 1997 | 9513155 |
| tsetse fly host preference from sleeping sickness foci in cameroon: epidemiological implications. | to determine the tsetse fly host preferences in two sleeping sickness foci of southern cameroon, four entomological surveys (two in each focus) were carried out. for the whole study, 4929 tsetse flies were caught: 3933 (79.8%) glossina palpalis palpalis, 626 (12.7%) glossina pallicera pallicera, 276 (5.6%) glossina nigrofusca and 94 (1.9%) glossina caliginea. one hundred and thirty-eight blood meals were collected and the origin of 118 (85.5%) meals was successfully identified: 38.4% from man, 2 ... | 2008 | 17977803 |
| tsetse fly blood meal modification and trypanosome identification in two sleeping sickness foci in the forest of southern cameroon. | the blood meal origins of 222 tsetse flies (213 glossina palpalis palpalis, 7 glossina pallicera pallicera, one glossina nigrofusca and one glossina caliginea) caught in 2008 in two human african trypanosomiasis foci (bipindi and campo) of south cameroon were investigated. 88.7% of tsetse flies blood meals were identified using the heteroduplex method and the origin of the remaining blood meals (11.3%) was identified by sequencing the cytochrome b gene. most of the meals were from humans (45.9%) ... | 2010 | 20541513 |
| bacterial diversity associated with populations of glossina spp. from cameroon and distribution within the campo sleeping sickness focus. | tsetse flies were sampled in three villages of the campo sleeping sickness focus in south cameroon. the aim of this study was to investigate the flies' gut bacterial composition using culture-dependent techniques. out of the 32 flies analyzed (27 glossina palpalis palpalis, two glossina pallicera, one glossina nigrofusca, and two glossina caliginea), 17 were shown to be inhabited by diverse bacteria belonging to the proteobacteria, the firmicutes, or the bacteroidetes phyla. phylogenetic analysi ... | 2011 | 21387098 |
