Lipid metabolism dysfunction following symbiont elimination is linked to altered Kennedy pathway homeostasis
G. M. Attardo, J. Benoit, V. Michalkova…·S. Aksoy
This study shows that eliminating symbiotic bacteria in tsetse flies disrupts lipid metabolism via the Kennedy pathway, leading to reproductive failure.

Warm blood meal increases digestion rate and milk protein production to maximize reproductive output for the tsetse fly, Glossina morsitans
J. Benoit, C. Lahondere, G. M. Attardo…·S. Aksoy
The study shows that warm blood meals in tsetse flies shorten pregnancy duration and increase milk protein production, enhancing reproductive output.

Interpretation of the morphological adaptations associated with viviparity in the Tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans) by three dimensional analysis.
G. M. Attardo, N. B. Tam, D. Y. Parkinson…·A. R. Malacrida
This study uses 3D analysis to examine morphological adaptations related to viviparity in tsetse flies, focusing on reproductive tract and seminal secretions structures.

A fine-tuned vector-parasite dialogue in tsetse’s cardia determines peritrophic matrix integrity and trypanosome transmission success
A. Vigneron, E. Aksoy, B. L. Weiss…·S. Aksoy
The paper investigates how tsetse flies' peritrophic matrix integrity and trypanosome transmission success are regulated by interactions between the fly and parasite in the cardia.
