Innate immunity in the tsetse fly (Glossina), vector of African trypanosomes Institute of Tropical Medicine
Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are medically and veterinary important vectors of African trypanosomes, protozoan parasites that cause devastating diseases in humans and livestock in sub-Saharan Africa.
