A fine-tuned vector-parasite dialogue in tsetse's cardia determines peritrophic matrix integrity and trypanosome transmission success

Vigneron, Aurélien; Aksoy, Emre; Weiss, Brian L.; Bing, Xiaoli; Zhao, Xin; Awuoche, Erick O.; O'Neill, Michelle; Wu, Yineng; Attardo, Geoffrey M.; Aksoy, Serap (PLoS Pathog, 2018)

Arthropod vectors have multiple physical and immunological barriers that impede the development and transmission of parasites to new vertebrate hosts. These barriers include the peritrophic matrix (PM), a chitinous barrier ...
Molecular characterization of tsetse’s proboscis and its response to Trypanosoma congolense infection

Awuoche, Erick O.; Weiss, Brian L.; Vigneron, Aurélien; Mireji, Paul O.; Aksoy, Emre; Nyambega, Benson; Attardo, Geoffrey M.; Wu, Yineng; O’Neill, Michelle; Murilla, Grace; Aksoy, Serap (PLOS, 2017)

Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) transmit parasitic African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma spp.), including Trypanosoma congolense, which causes animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT). AAT detrimentally affects agricultural activities ...
