Glossina longipalpis is one of the 23 recognized species of tsetse flies (genus Glossina), and it belongs to the savannah/morsitans group (subgenus Glossina s.s.). Glossina longipalpis can transmit African trypanosomiasis among livestock and wildlife, [1] whilst it does not presently seem to play a role in the transmission of the human form of the disease. [2]

Distribution

Glossina longipalpis was known to occur in West Africa and Central Africa from Senegal to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [1] However, as of 1990, the accessible literature only provides reports of the species from 4 countries; Benin, [3] Côte d’Ivoire, [4] [5] Nigeria, [6] and Togo, [7] with most reports dating back to the 1990s. [8]
