Dot-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA), developed for the detection and identification of trypanosome species in tsetse flies, was validated in the laboratory by comparing its sensitivity to that of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Tsetse flies were experimentally infected with dif...

Druing translocations of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis Linnaeus) in Kenya, we studied the relationships between the rhinoceros and biting flies. In trapping experiments, rhinoceros waste products (urine or dung) were substituted for known attractants such as cow urine, 1-octen-3-ol or aceton...

Tsetse flies Glossina spp. (Diptera: Glossinidae) harbor three different symbiotic microorganisms one being an intracellular Rickettsia of the genus Wolbachia. This bacterium infects a wide range of arthropods, where it causes a variety of reproductive abnormalities, one of which is termed cytopl...

In a single generation of selection, two lines of Glossina morsitans centralis were established that differed significantly in susceptibility to Trypanosoma congolense clone IL 1180. Reciprocal crosses demonstrated that susceptibility was a maternally inherited trait. Differences between the line...

The susceptibility of G. longipennis, G. brevipalpis and G. morsitans centralis to various strains of Trypanosoma vivax, T. congolense and T. brucei brucei was investigated in the laboratory. Cattle and goats were infected with the trypanosomes and the tsetse fed from them during the first parasi...
