Abstract:
Glossina morsitans, a species originally thought to be the sole transmitter of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, the cause of nagana in central Africa; this species transmits this disease in some regions, but it is not the sole or even always the principal transmitting agent; it is the vector of t. Brucei rhodesiense, one of the pathogenic agents of East african, Rhodesian, or acute sleeping sickness.
