Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are a class of soluble proteins present in high concentrations in the sensilla of insect antennae. It has been proposed that they play an important role in insect olfaction by mediating interactions between odorants and o

Reverse genetic studies based on RNA interference (RNAi) have revolutionized analysis of gene function in most insects. However the necessity of injecting double stranded RNA (dsRNA) inevitably compromises many investigations particularly those on im

Africa's Bane Tsetse are blood-feeding, fast-flying flies that transmit a range of Trypanosoma spp. protozoan pathogens, which cause sleeping sickness in humans and their nagana in their livestock. The International Glossina Genome Initiative (p. 380

We report the characterization of 11 antioxidant genes from the tsetse fly Glossina m. morsitans. Through similarity searches which detected homology we suggest that these genes consist of two superoxide dismutases (one with a putative signal peptide
