Evaluating the Effect of Irradiation on the Densities of Two RNA Viruses in <i>Glossina morsitans morsitans</i>
Tsetse flies are cyclic vectors of Trypanosoma parasites, which cause debilitating diseases in humans and animals. To decrease the disease burden, the number of flies is reduced using the sterile insect technique (SIT), where male flies are sterilized through irradiation and released into the field....
