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 ...

Researchers have deciphered a crucial signaling mechanism that enables trypanosomes to reach the salivary glands of the flies. LMU researchers have deciphered a crucial signaling mechanism that ...

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 tsetse fly might look like an ordinary insect at first glance, but it’s responsible for spreading one of Africa’s most notorious diseases: sleeping sickness. Found across parts of sub-Saharan ...

New Haven, Conn. — Yale scientists have for the first time identified a volatile pheromone emitted by the tsetse fly, a blood-sucking insect that spreads diseases in both humans and animals across ...

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 ...
