Implications of microfauna-host interactions for trypanosome transmission dynamics in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in Uganda.
Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are vectors for African trypanosomes (Euglenozoa: kinetoplastida), protozoan parasites that cause African trypanosomiasis in humans (HAT) and nagana in livestock. In addition to trypanosomes, two symbiotic bacteria (Wigglesworthia glossinidia and Sodalis glossinidius) and two parasitic microbes, Wolbachia and a salivary gland hypertrophy virus (SGHV), have be...

متن کاملMechanoreceptor--trypanosome interactions in the labrum of Glossina: fluid mechanics.
The fluid mechanics of the flow of blood through the labrum of Glossina is described in uninfected and trypanosome infected flies. The flow is characterised by the Reynolds number, and a frequency parameter for the pulsating flow and non-newtonian viscosity effects are considered. The effects of colonies of trypanosomes on the flow rate in the labrum and the interactions between colonies of Try...
متن کاملThe Function of Chemo- and Mechanoreceptors in Lobster (homarus Americanus) Feeding Behaviour
The behaviour of lobsters preying on live mussels (Mytilus edulis) was observed before and after chemosensory or chemosensory-mechanosensory deafferentation of different sensory appendages. Deafferentation of the antennules, leg tips, or maxillipeds (but not the carapace or proximal leg segments) interfered with feeding performance by causing an increase in the time necessary to crush a mussel ...
متن کاملPrevalence and source of trypanosome infections in field-captured vector flies (Glossina pallidipes) in southeastern Zambia.
The prevalence of trypanosome infections in tsetse flies, Glossina pallidipes, collected from Chiawa and Chakwenga in Zambia with endemic trypanosomosis was assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of the 550 G. pallidipes, 58 (10.5%) flies were found to harbor trypanosome DNA. Infection rates of tsetse with Trypanosoma vivax universal, Trypanosoma congolense savannah, T. congolense for...
