Glossina palpalis gambiensis Transcriptome or Gene expression. Glossina palpalis gambiensis

The tetse fly Glossina palpalis gambiensis is a vector of the pathogen Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. T. brucei gambiense infection causes a chronic form of Human African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) occurring in West and central Africa. This transcriptome data will support genome annotation and comparative functional studies.

采采蝇（tsetse fly）冈比亚须舌蝇（Glossina palpalis gambiensis）是病原体布氏锥虫冈比亚亚种（Trypanosoma brucei gambiense）的传播媒介。布氏锥虫冈比亚亚种感染可引发慢性非洲人类锥虫病（昏睡病），该病流行于西非及中非地区。本转录组数据将为基因组注释与比较功能研究提供支撑。
