	Tsetse fly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tsetse also have a long proboscis which extends directly forward and is attached by a distinct bulb to the bottom of their head.
		Tsetse have been extensively studied because of their medical, veterinary, and economic importance, because the flies can be raised in a laboratory, and because the flies are relatively large, facilitating their analysis.
		Tsetse are biological vectors of trypanosomes meaning that tsetse, in the process of feeding, acquire and then transmit small, single-celled organisms called trypanosomes from infected vertebrate hosts to uninfected animals.

	TSETSE
		Tsetse flies belong to the sub-order Cyclorrhapha, and form, along with the families Hippoboscidae, Streblidae and Nycteribiidae, the superfamily Hippoboscoidea.
		Tsetse flies are extremely important vectors of African trypanosomiasis, causing nagana in livestock, a fatal disease of horses and cattle, and sleeping sickness in humans.
		Tsetse flies are yellowish to brown, the abdomen may be uniformly coloured or transversed by stripes according to species.

	Fly - LoveToKnow 1911
		fleugan, to fly), a designation applied to the winged or perfect state of many insects belonging to various orders, as in butterfly (see Lepidoptera), dragon-fly, may-fly, caddis-fly, andc.; also specially employed by entomologists to mean any species of the two-winged flies, or Diptera.
		In ordinary parlance fly is often used in the sense of the common house-fly (Musca domestica); and by English colonists and sportsmen in South Africa in that of a species of tsetse-fly (Glossin g), or a tract of country ("belt") in which these insects abound (see Tsetse-Fly).
		Mr L. Howard (Circular 77 of the Bureau of Entomology U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, 1906) says that in 1900 he made a collection of the flies in dining-rooms in different parts of the United States, and out of a total of 23,087 flies, 22,808 were the common house-fly.

		Tsetse seem to be unaffected by the infection of trypanosomes but it is entirely possible that the parasites alter tsetse behavior or have other effects which improve the chances of transmission and survival.

	Sleeping sickness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caused by protozoa of genus Trypanosoma and transmitted by the tsetse fly, the disease is endemic in certain regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, covering about 36 countries and 60 million people.
		Instances of sleeping sickness are being reduced by the use of the Sterile Atomic Fly.
		Regular active surveillance, involving case detection and treatment, in addition to tsetse fly control, is the backbone of the strategy for control of sleeping sickness.

		In 1903, David Bruce identified that the tsetse fly was the primary vector of this disease.
		Certain insecticides used to control the tsetse fly population sometimes are rendered useless, due to the tsetse fly becoming resistant.
		Also, the fly is attracted to the dust that is caused by a moving vehicle, or a moving herd, so those who are visiting or working in a game park need to observe from a vehicle that offers protection in the form of windows.

		Tsetse flies are obligate blood feeders and ingest trypanosomes along with the blood meal from infected animals.
		In the fly, the trypanosomes undergo complex cycles of growth and development all of which occur within the lumen of the alimentary canal of the fly and, in the case of the brucei group trypanosomes, the salivary glands [1].
		Tsetse flies are normally refractory to trypanosome infection with typically less than half the fly population becoming infected, even under ideal conditions in the laboratory.

	Trypano
		The tsetse fly inhabits over a third of the continent, where it exposes some 30% of Africa's 150 million cattle to the risk of infection with trypanosomes, which give rise to the debilitating and frequently fatal disease trypanosomiasis.
		In the midgut of the tsetse fly, procyclic forms (d) arise and undergo division, after which the parasites enter the proventriculus and later the salivary glands of the fly, where they assume epimastigote forms (e) and undergo further division.
		This surface coat of the parasites disappears in the procyclic forms that arise in the midgut of the tsetse fly and is later reformed in the metacyclic forms in the tsetse salivary glands.

		In addition to monitoring the presence of the fly, which is small and difficult to find, routine blood samples are being taken from cattle in once-infested areas to be tested for trypanosomiasis.

	Deciphering tsetse's secret partner - Nature Genetics
		Because the tsetse fly relies on this bacterium for fertility and nutrition, this information may be useful in reducing fly populations and halting the spread of the deadly African sleeping disease.
		This may be relevant to part of the transmission cycle of the bacterium to new tsetse hosts, such as movement from adult tsetse flies to larvae.
		In the absence of the bacteria (and vitamins), the tsetse fly is sterile.

	Campaign Launched to Eliminate Tsetse Fly
		The fly is the carrier of the single cell parasite, trypanosome, which attacks the blood and nervous system of its victims, causing sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in livestock.
		The flies are bred in special centers and male flies, after their birth, are exposed to a short burst of gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source.
		The impact of the tsetse on livestock, a disadvantage unique to African farmers, is worsening as the fly's range expands and the resistance of the parasite it carries strengthens.

		The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement the tsetse fly, which carries the parasite that causes sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals, was killing three million livestock animals every year.
		"The impact of the fly is difficult to exaggerate," said John Kabayo, regional coordinator for the Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomosis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC), inaugurated by the Organization of African Unity.
		Tsetse flies are bred in special centers and the males are exposed to a short burst of radiation, rendering them sterile.

	Tsetse: pictures, information, classification and more
		Tsetses are found abundantly in forests and along the edges of lakes and rivers in central Africa.
		The parasites are drawn into the body of the fly with the blood sucked from an infected person and, after a period of development, can be conveyed to the bloodstream of healthy victims.
		The South African tsetse fly is classified as Glossina palpalis, and the tsetse fly that transmits Rhodesian sleeping sickness and nagana as Glossina morsitans.

		These trypanosomes replicate in the tsetse fly and are transmitted through tsetse fly saliva when the fly feeds on an animal.
		The three main species of tsetse flies for transmission of trypanosomes are Glossina morsitans, which favors the open woodland of the savanna; G.

		He is helping develop a plan to spray the bush in 40 countries with tens of billions of specially reared male tsetse flies made sterile by a quick blast of radiation.
		Female tsetse flies appear to mate only once, so mating with a sterilized fly will effectively prevent her from having offspring.

		Both diseases are transmitted by tsetse flies (one third of the population of Africa lives in tsetse fly-infested areas).
		Once a fly is infected, it remains able to transmit trypanosomiasis to humans throughout its one- to six-month life span.
		Transegenic techniques, such as introducing into tsetse flies (or symbiotic microorganisms living in the flies) foreign genes that will restrict the tsetse flies ability to survive, reproduce, or transmit pathogens, hold great promise.
