| dc.description.abstract | Pathology of the Tsetse DNA virus and the effects of the infection on the
physiology of the fly were studied in Glossina m. centralis flies artificially inoculated
with the virus homogenate during the third instar larval stage.
The virus was shown to be infective to Glossina m. centralis with 100% infection
being achieved on all treated flies. Individual variation in the level of salivary gland
pathology in experimentally infected flies was noted and categorised into levels 1 to 4
(depicting the least to the most severe salivary gland lesion). Virus particles were only
seen in levels 3 and 4. | en |
