Background: Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are the definitive biological vectors of African trypanosomes in humans and animals. Controlling this vector is the most promising method of preventing trypanosome transmission.

Homeopathy
November 2024
Independent Practitioner, Breda, The Netherlands.
Background: With the emergence of new variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, such as the Omicron variant, during the third wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there was a need to identify useful homeopathic medicines. This study aimed to identify such medicines and their indications using prognostic factor research (PFR).
Methods: This was an open-label, multi-centred observational study conducted in January 2022, on confirmed COVID-19 cases.
An atlas to support the progressive control of tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Burkina Faso.
Parasit Vectors
March 2022
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Animal Production and Health Division, Rome, Italy.
Background: African animal trypanosomosis (AAT), transmitted by tsetse flies, is arguably the main disease constraint to integrated crop-livestock agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa, and African heads of state and governments adopted a resolution to rid the continent of this scourge. In order to sustainably reduce or eliminate the burden of AAT, a progressive and evidence-based approach is needed, which must hinge on harmonized, spatially explicit information on the occurrence of AAT and its vectors.
Methods: A digital repository was assembled, containing tsetse and AAT data collected in Burkina Faso between 1990 and 2019.
Prevalence of Trypanosoma and Sodalis in wild populations of tsetse flies and their impact on sterile insect technique programmes for tsetse eradication.
Sci Rep
February 2022
Insect Pest Control Laboratory, Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, 1400, Vienna, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a non-invasive pest control method that involves releasing irradiated male insects to mate with wild females, preventing offspring and reducing pest populations.
- Research on tsetse flies shows that their infection rates with Trypanosoma, which causes diseases like sleeping sickness, vary across Africa, with higher rates in eastern and central regions compared to western Africa.
- The study found a correlation between the presence of Sodalis bacteria and Trypanosoma infections in certain tsetse species, suggesting that these bacteria may influence the flies' ability to transmit the infection.
Psychometric validation of the modified Naranjo algorithm used in homeopathy for chronic cases.
J Complement Integr Med
May 2021
Dept. of Repertory, D. N. De Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Govt. of West Bengal, Kolkata, India.
Objectives: The modified Naranjo algorithm assesses the physician assigned cause-effect relationship for homeopathic medicines. It is being adopted in homeopathy researches, but not yet validated systematically. We intended to validate the modified Naranjo algorithm by examining its psychometric properties.
