Paratransgenic manipulation of tsetse <i>miR275</i> alters the physiological homeostasis of the fly’s midgut environment
2021-03-15
Abstract excerpt
Tsetse flies are vectors of parasitic African trypanosomes ( Trypanosoma spp.). Current disease control methods include fly-repelling pesticides, trapping flies, and chemotherapeutic treatment of infected people. Inhibiting tsetse’s ability to transmit trypanosomes by strengthening the fly’s natural barriers can serve as an alternative approach to reduce disease. The peritrophic matrix (PM) is a chitinous and pro...
