Glossina pallidipes 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 pallidipes is a major vector of African trypanosomiasis, both for the human and the animal form of the disease. [1] [2]

Distribution

Glossina pallidipes was known to be patchily distributed across East Africa, from Ethiopia to Mozambique. A review of the peer-reviewed scientific literature for the period 1990–2020 revealed that there is abundant data on the occurrence of G. pallidipes, with over 200 papers published. [3] The data indicate that the species presently infests 9 countries: Ethiopia, [4] Kenya, [5] Malawi, [6] Mozambique, Rwanda, [7] [8] Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania, [9] Zambia and Zimbabwe.
