A comparative genomics approach towards classifying immunity-related proteins in the tsetse fly
(2009)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 ... -

Computational characterization of IRE-regulated genes in Glossina morsitans
(University of Western Cape, 2013)Blood feeding is a habit exhibited by many insects. Considering the devastating impact of these insects on human health, it is important to focus research on understanding the biology behind blood-feeding, disease ... -
An evolutionary genomics approach towards analysis of genes implicated in transmission of trypanosomes between tsetse fly and mammalian host
(2009)Human African trypanosomiasis is the world’s third most important parasitic disease affecting human health after malaria and schistosomiaisis. The world health organization estimates approximately 60 million people at risk ... -
In silico investigation of glossina morsitans promoters
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)Tsetse flies (Glossina spp) are the biological vectors for Trypanosomes, the causative magents of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT). HAT is a debilitating disease that continues to present a major public health problem ...
