Mammalian moms aren’t the only ones to deliver babies and feed them milk. Tsetse flies, the insects best known for transmitting sleeping sickness, do it too. A researcher at the University of ...
Mining the genome of the disease-transmitting tsetse fly, researchers have revealed the genetic adaptions that allow it to have such unique biology and transmit disease to both humans and animals. The ...
New Haven, Conn. — Yale scientists have for the first time identified a volatile pheromone emitted by the tsetse fly, a blood-sucking insect that spreads diseases in both humans and animals across ...
Methods are lacking for controlling the spread of disease among humans and livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Now, a new insight into how tsetse flies mate could bolster the arsenal of tools to manage ...
