Comparative study of the susceptibility to infection with Trypanosoma simiae of Glossina morsitans and G. tachinoides.
نویسنده
چکیده
The susceptibility to infection with Trypanosoma simiae of Glossina morsitans and G. tachinoides was compared. A total of 592 G. tachinoides and 348 G. morsitans were used in trying to transmit T. simiae to pigs. G. morsitans were very good at transmitting T. simiae infection to pigs while G. tachinoides were very poor. The epidemiological importance of the results is discussed.

Blood-feeding Glossina palpalis gambiense (Gpg) fly transmits the single-celled eukaryotic parasite Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (Tbg), the second Glossina fly African trypanosome pair being Glossina morsitans/T.brucei rhodesiense. Whatever the T. brucei subspecies, whereas the onset of their developmental program in the zoo-anthropophilic blood feeding flies does unfold in the fly midgut, its ...

Four phenotypes of a sex-linked, maternally influenced semi-lethal eye color mutant of Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood were fed on Trypanosoma congolense Broden infected guinea pigs. Infection rates were evaluated 25 days later by means of dissection. Procyclic as well as mature infections were significantly more common among females with salmon-colored eyes (sal/sal) than among heterozyg...

Tsetse flies, Glossina morsitans morsitans, fed on rats infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei showed wide fluctuations in total and differential haemocyte counts. Similar fluctuations occurred in controls fed on non-infected rats and also between the two groups without showing any difference which could be attributed to the infection. Trypanosome infection of the tsetse haemocoel occurred in ...

The four tsetse species and subspecies were also infected simultaneously in vitro on the blood of mice infected with the two clones of T.congolense via a silic...
