Article Synopsis
- Tsetse flies, especially Glossina fuscipes, are key transmitters of sleeping sickness in Congo-Brazzaville, spreading the parasite Trypanosoma brucei gambiense.
- A study was conducted to analyze the genetic diversity, population structure, and migration patterns of G. fuscipes across three locations, revealing high genetic diversity and ongoing gene flow among populations.
- Findings highlight the importance of understanding these genetic factors to develop effective tsetse control strategies and prevent resurgence in cleared areas.
