Tsetse fly and trypanozoon trypanosomes infection

The book "Tsetse Fly and Trypanozoon Trypanosomes Infection" offers a comprehensive examination of the distribution of tsetse flies and the associated trypanozoon infections in the Khor Yabus River area, located at the Sudanese-Ethiopian border in the Blue Nile State. The study highlights the ecological changes that may influence the distribution of tsetse flies and employs modern DNA-PCR techniques to identify Trypanosoma species in the examined flies. The results indicate that a significant, albeit small, number of flies are infected with Trypanosoma brucei, particularly the subspecies T. b. rhodesiense. These findings are important for monitoring sleeping sickness and planning control measures against tsetse flies in the region. The book is aimed at professionals and researchers involved in parasitology, entomology, and the fight against diseases transmitted by tsetse flies.
