PREVALENCE OF TRYPANOSOMES, SALIVARY GLAND HYPERTROPHY VIRUS AND WOLBACHIA IN WILD POPULATIONS OF TSETSE FLIES FROM WEST AFRICA

Prevalence of trypanosomes, salivary gland hypertrophy virus and Wolbachia in wild populations of tsetse flies from West Africa

Abstract Background Tsetse flies are vectors of African trypanosomes, protozoan parasites that cause sleeping sickness (or human African trypanosomosis) in humans and nagana (or animal African trypanosomosis) in livestock.In addition to trypanosomes, four symbiotic bacteria Wigglesworthia glossinidia, Sodalis glossinidius, Wolbachia, Spiroplasma an
