Male tsetse, when infected in the laboratory with trypanosomes of the subgenus Trypanozoon, usually produce greater salivary gland infection rates than females of the same species. We show that a single sex-linked gene model can be fitted to most recently published data for salivary gland infection rates in tsetse. The maturation of Trypanosoma congolense infections is shown to be independent of fly sex. The possible effects of genetic control of maturation of Trypanozoon infections in tsetse populations on the transmission of sleeping sickness are considered.
在实验室中感染了锥虫亚属锥虫的雄性采采蝇，通常比同一物种的雌性采采蝇产生更高的唾液腺感染率。我们表明，一个单一的性连锁基因模型可以拟合采采蝇唾液腺感染率的最新公布数据。刚果锥虫感染的成熟过程被证明与苍蝇性别无关。我们考虑了采采蝇种群中锥虫感染成熟的遗传控制对昏睡病传播的可能影响。
