Development of a comprehensive annotation and curation framework for analysis of Glossina Morsitans Morsitans expresses sequence tags
… parasite invasion. Furthermore, an open-source Glossina resource (G-ESTMAP) was developed that provides interactive features and browsing of functional genomics data for researchers working in the field of Trypanosomiasis on the African continent.

An evolutionary genomics approach towards analysis of genes implicated in transmission of trypanosomes between tsetse fly and mammalian host
… of the genomic activities of the International Glossina genome initiative (IGGI). In an attempt to support the tsetse fly sequencing effort, expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from various tissues and developmental stages of Glossina morsitans have been generated.In this study, tsetse fly EST data …

The evolution of immune genes in tsetse flies (Glossina) and insights into tsetse-symbiont-trypanosome interactions
Tsetse flies (genera Glossina) are the sole biological vectors of African Trypanosoma species, the infectious agents of African Trypanosomiasis. Vector control is a key inhibitor of disease transmission; however, long-term control measures are economically and ecologically unsustainable and …

Microbial Genome Evolution Due to Multifaceted Symbiosis within the Tsetse Fly (Diptera: Glossinidae)
… genomes of Wigglesworthia spp. (isolated from Glossina morsitans (Wgm) and G. brevipalpis (Wgb)), Sodalis and Trypanosoma brucei subspp. have been sequenced and annotated, facilitating empirical studies exploring potential partner interactions and adaptations. My work first examines the …

A comparative genomics approach towards classifying immunity-related proteins in the tsetse fly
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp) are vectors of African trypanosome (Trypanosoma spp) parasites, causative agents of Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) and Nagana in livestock. Research suggests that tsetse fly immunity factors are key determinants in the success and failure of infection …
