The influence of tsetse midgut oxidants on trypanosome establishment

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the vectors of African trypanosomes which cause human sleeping sickness and nagana to animals. Despite their importance as vectors, tsetse flies are largely refractory to trypanosome infections after the first two bloodmeals. Fly immunity is thought to play a crucial role in determining the outcome of initial parasite establishment in the fly midgut. As a result of defending...
