A professor of biology has lent his expertise in understanding insect movement to help shape a UN-sanctioned eradication effort of the tsetse fly -- a creature that passes the fatal African sleeping ...

The genome of the tsetse fly has been decoded at last. Ten years of work made it possible for a consortium of 145 scientists to publish the DNA sequence for the vector for sleeping sickness. This ...

Tsetse fly. The tsetse fly is the biological vector of sleeping sickness, which can be deadly. New research shows how tsetse attractants for traps may be produced from yeast. Despite their innocuous ...
