Evidence for a discrete evolutionary lineage within Equatorial Guinea suggests that the tsetse fly Glossina palpalis palpalis exists as a species complex
Tsetse flies of the palpalis group are major vectors of Human African Trypanosomiasis in
Africa. Accurate knowledge of species identity is essential for vector control. Here, we …
