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.

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.
