Tsetse flies move between a broad range of animals. They connect wildlife, livestock and humans in complex transmission networks.

New research on what attracts blood-feasting flies to blue objects could help minimise the impacts of those insects on people and animals.
This insect’s unique reproductive biology could lead to new ways to control the species in the environment – and prevent the deadly sleeping sickness it spreads to people.
From fungi and flies to spiders and fish, living collections need care and feeding even when their human keepers are dealing with a pandemic and its resultant social distancing.
Mathematical modelling tools may predict where tsetse flies are being driven to extinction.
How the zebra got its stripes is not only a just-so story, but an object of scientific inquiry. New research suggests that stripes help zebras evade biting flies and the deadly diseases they carry.
A new finding may shed light on how sleeping sickness has avoided elimination and could help finally beat the deadly disease.
New research upends the previous theory that tsetse flies – and the disease they carry – were the main reason the spread of livestock domestication in Africa stalled out for a thousand years.
