The Glossina Genome Cluster: Comparative Genomic Analysis of the Vectors of African Trypanosomes

2019-01-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are the sole vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Tsetse are distinguished from other Diptera by unique adaptations, including lactation and the birthing of live young (obligate viviparity), a vertebrate blood specific diet by both sexes and obligate bacterial symbiosis. This work describes comparative analysis of six Glossina...
