Mammalian moms aren’t the only ones to deliver babies and feed them milk. Tsetse flies, the insects best known for transmitting sleeping sickness, do it too. A researcher at the University of ...

Mining the genome of the disease-transmitting tsetse fly, researchers have revealed the genetic adaptions that allow it to have such unique biology and transmit disease to both humans and animals. The ...

Scientists have identified a volatile pheromone emitted by the tsetse fly, a blood-sucking insect that spreads diseases in both humans and animals across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The discovery ...

Methods are lacking for controlling the spread of disease among humans and livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Now, a new insight into how tsetse flies mate could bolster the arsenal of tools to manage ...

Smart Harvest spoke to KENTTEC CEO Dr Pamela Olet on the steps the State is undertaking to ensure Kenya is tsetse-free 1. The organisation you head has been spearheading tsetse eradication, can you ...

Fighting the tsetse fly using irradiation involves rearing and then releasing in the environment sterile male flies to mate with wild females producing no offspring, reducing the population over time.

The image illustrates the combined action of two peptide molecules cooperating to inhibit thrombin. The antidote PNA (peptide nucleic acid) dissociates the two molecules, which ‘switches off’ the anti ...

Tsetse flies are bloodthirsty. Natives of sub-Saharan Africa, tsetse flies can transmit the microbe Trypanosoma when they take a blood meal. That’s the protozoan that causes African sleeping sickness ...

A researcher at the University of California, Davis is studying the unique way in which these flies reproduce to find new ways to combat sleeping sickness. Mammalian moms aren’t the only ones to ...
