Rapid autophagic regression of the milk gland during involution is critical for maximizing tsetse viviparous reproductive output.
Tsetse flies are important vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis. Ability to reduce tsetse populations is an effective means of disease control. Lactation is an essential component of tsetse's viviparous reproductive physiology and requires a dramatic increase in the expression and synthe...
