Caught in a trap: DNA contamination in tsetse xenomonitoring can lead to over-estimates of Trypanosoma brucei infection

Isabel Saldanha, Rachel Sarah Lea, Oliver Manangwa, Gala Garrod, Lee Rafuse Haines, Álvaro Acosta-Serrano, Harriet K. Auty, Martha Betson, Jennifer Lord, Liam J. Morrison, Furaha Mramba, Stephen J. Torr, Lucas J. Cunningham

This study shows that co-housed infected tsetse flies can contaminate naive flies with T. brucei DNA via faeces, leading to overestimation of infection prevalence in xenomonitoring.
