Molecular dynamics in the head of adult Glossina morsitans morsitans infected with Trypanasoma brucei brucei

Sensory apparatus (proboscis, eyes and antennae) functionally associated with location and acquisition of blood meal from vertebrate hosts, and interactions with other environmental cues critical for tsetse fly survival are located in the head of the fly. This study was initiated to establish molecular perturbations in the head of Glossina morsitans morsitans infection by Trypanosoma brucei brucei, and their potential impact on vision, host feeding and location behaviors by the fly
