Phylogeography and population structure of the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes in Kenya and the Serengeti ecosystem

Abstract: Glossina pallidipes is the main vector of animal African trypanosomiasis and a potential vector of human African trypanosomiasis in eastern Africa where it poses a large economic burden and public health threat. Vector control efforts have succeeded in reducing infection rates, but recent resurgence in tsetse fly population density raises concerns that vector control programs require improved strategic planning over larger geographic and temporal scales. Detailed knowledge of population structure and dispersal… Show more

“…The abundance of G. pallidipes goes in line with the situation in several other countries in the eastern and southern Africa regions [52]; [48]; [55]. This species is the most widely distributed tsetse species in those regions, hence the main vector of AAT and potentially the vector of sleeping sickness [56]. However, recent studies highlight the genetic modi cations amid Glossina populations [57] due to environmental changes [58] ; [59]; [60] which could lead to the dominance and adaptations of certain species in a region.…”

“…Glossina pallidipes is a widely-spread species in Kenya and intense control strategies have had limited success [56]. However, populations of G. pallidipes have been found to be clustered genetically in Kenya [57], necessitating tailor-made control and monitoring strategies for the different clusters for effective tsetse fly eradication. Unlike G. pallidipes, the geographical range of G. swynnertoni in Kenya is limited to a narrow belt within the Maasai Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, which has resulted in the prioritization of this tsetse species as a target for elimination in East Africa [58].…”

“…The abundance of G. pallidipes is in line with the situation in several other countries of the eastern and southern Africa regions [ 53 , 56 , 59 ]. This species is the most widely distributed tsetse species in those regions and hence is the main vector of AAT and potentially the vector of rhodesiense sleeping sickness [ 60 ]. However, recent studies highlight the genetic modifications amid Glossina populations [ 61 ] due to environmental changes [ 62 64 ], which could lead to the dominance and adaptations of certain species in a region.…”
