glossina

The genus Glossina has about 34 species in three groups of species.

Prevalence of this virus is high (80%) in Glossina pallidipes.

All current classifications place all the tsetse species in a single genus named Glossina.

Kalungwishi was abandoned because of Glossina palpalis.

It is transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina species), which is found only in rural Africa.

Tsetse include all the species in the genus Glossina, which are generally placed in their own family, Glossinidae.

Elachista glossina is a moth of the Elachistidae family that is endemic to Australia.

Tsetse fly (Glossina spp) - sleeping sickness vector.

Much more unusual is the occurrence of the amino-acid proline as an energy reserve for flight in Glossina (Bursell, 1966).

The vector for these protozoans is the Tsetse Fly (Glossina spp.)

It is spread by the bite of tsetse fly, the scissor-winged glossina species found from Senegal to Somalia to South Africa.

The savannah flies: (Subgenus Morsitans, occasionally named Glossina):

The tsetse Glossina palpalis is also a vector and host of Hepatozoon petti, a parasitic sporozoan of the Nile crocodile.

'On the "Tsetse" Fly of Tropical Africa (Glossina Morsitans, Westwood).'

In the low-lying wooded savannah that covers the eastern half of the country the tsetse fly, glossina morsitans, closes a great deal of prime country to cattle-ranching.

In Lepidoptera and Orthoptera it is usually fat, though some insects use both carbohydrate and fat and Glossina employs the amino-acid proline as an energy-furnishing reserve.

Analysis of bloodstream stage transformants, produced by transmission through the vector Glossina, showed that the resistance gene was conserved and expressed in these forms in the absence of selective drug pressure.

APS, the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans and its endosymbiont Wigglesworthia glossinidia brevipalpis and the endosymbiotic protists in lower termites.

We descibe here the stable transformation of T.brucei using a further selectable marker, the Sh ble, or phleomycin, resistance gene (17), and the transmission of these transformants through the insect vector,Glossina, to produce antibiotic resistant bloodstream form trypanosomes for the first time.
