Inhibition of the DNA amplification of trypanosomes present in tsetse flies midguts: implications for the identification of trypanosome species in wild tsetse flies

The present study was carried out in order to investigate if there was really a failure of PCR in identifying parasitologically positive tsetse flies in the field. Tsetse flies (Glossina palpalis gambiensis and Glossina morsitans morsitans) were therefore experimentally infected with two different s...
