Interpreting Morphological Adaptations Associated with Viviparity in the Tsetse Fly <i>Glossina morsitans</i> (<i>Westwood</i>) by Three-Dimensional Analysis

Tsetse flies (genus <i>Glossina</i>), the sole vectors of African trypanosomiasis, are distinct from most other insects, due to dramatic morphological and physiological adaptations required to support their unique biology. These adaptations are driven by demands associated with obligate...
