Impact of a national tsetse control programme to eliminate Gambian sleeping sickness in Uganda: a spatio-temporal modelling study.

J. Longbottom, J. Esterhuizen, A. Hope, M. J. Lehane, C. T. Mangwiro, A. Mugenyi, S. Dunkley, R. Selby, I. Tirados, S. J. Torr, M. C. Stanton

This study evaluates the impact of a national tsetse control program using Tiny Targets in Uganda, showing reduced tsetse abundance and low population levels across 4000 km2.

Insights into Trypanosomiasis Transmission: Age, Infection Rates and Bloodmeal Analysis of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in N.W. Uganda

L. J. Cunningham, J. Esterhuizen, J. Hargrove, M. Lehane, J. Lord, J. Lingley, C. T. N. Mangwiro, M. Opiyo, S. Torr

This study compares PCR and microscopy for detecting trypanosome infections in tsetse flies and finds PCR is 1.9-9.3 times more sensitive, identifies species, and reveals cattle and human bloodmeals dominate.

Impact of vector control on effective population sizes; empirical evidence for a control- based genetic bottleneck in the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes

A. Muhwezi, L. J. Cunningham, J. Esterhuizen, I. Tirados, E. Matovu, M. J. Donnelly, S. J. Torr

The paper assesses the impact of vector control on tsetse fly population genetics, finding a significant genetic bottleneck associated with control efforts.

Evidence of the absence of Human African Trypanosomiasis in northern Uganda: analyses of cattle, pigs and tsetse flies for the presence of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense

L. J. Cunningham, J. K. Lingley, I. Tirados, J. Esterhuizen, M. Opiyo, C. T. N. Mangwiro, M. Lehane, S. Torr

The paper investigates the presence of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in cattle, pigs, and tsetse flies in northern Uganda, finding no evidence of the pathogen in these hosts despite detecting T. brucei s.l. in some samples.
