The paper presents a comparative genomic analysis of Sodalis glossinidius strains showing genome degradation over time in laboratory culture.

This study shows nitisinone kills insecticide-resistant mosquitoes through cuticular uptake, with no difference in susceptibility between resistant and susceptible strains.

This study compares how host age and nutrition affect the density regulation of obligate and facultative bacterial symbionts in tsetse flies, finding that obligate symbionts are more tightly regulated by the host than facultative ones.

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.

This paper uses mid-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning to accurately estimate the sex and age of tsetse flies, offering a fast and reliable alternative to current labor-intensive methods.

This study shows that oxidative phosphorylation is essential for Trypanosoma brucei migration within tsetse flies but not for initial colonization.
