Refractoriness in Tsetse Flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) May be a Matter of Timing

2007-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae: Glossina spp.) are vectors for African trypanosomiasis, a devastating disease that kills both people and animals in sub-Saharan Africa. Trypanosomes ingested with an infected bloodmeal reside within the gut of tsetse and eventually move to the salivary glands where they become transmissible during blood feeding. Although tsetses are efficient vectors for disease transmission, in...
