A comparison of Glossina morsitans centralis originating from Tanzania and Zambia, with respect to vectorial competence for pathogenic Trypanosoma species, genetic variation and inter-colony fertility.

Abstract excerpt

Two laboratory strains of Glossina morsitans centralis originating from different fly-belts (one from Singida, in Tanzania, and the other from Mumbwa, in Zambia) were compared with respect to vectorial competence for pathogenic Trypanosoma species, genetic variation and inter-colony fertility. The vectorial competence of G.m.centralis of Tanzanian origin for Trypanosma vivax and T. congolense is similar to,...
