Glossina palpalis gambiensis Transcriptome or Gene expression

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）冈比亚嗜人舌蝇（Glossina palpalis gambiensis）是冈比亚布氏锥虫（Trypanosoma brucei gambiense）的传播媒介。冈比亚布氏锥虫感染可引发慢性型非洲人类锥虫病（Human African Trypanosomiasis，又称昏睡病），该疾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持。
