WHAT DOES GLOSSINA MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Tsetse fly

Mosca tsé-tsé

Tsetse is the name, in a dialect of Equatorial Africa, of the fly Glossina palpalis that transmits the sleeping sickness, caused by the trypanosoma brucei. Tsetse is not the cause of this disease; just carries it. Like many insects, this fly does not lay eggs, but the larvae, directly on the ground, where they are buried. A few hours later they become pupae with hard brown cocoons. After six weeks they are adult, ready to carry the trypanosomes. There are three varieties of this fly, all hematophilous. It is found from Lake Chad and Senegal in the west to Lake Victoria in the east. This region is bathed by the Congo River and its tributaries, being known as the Green Heart of the African Continent. The humidity of the place favors the appearance of insects of the most diverse species. The problems caused by the fact that this insect is the transmitter of sleeping sickness have led health authorities to cogitate in extermination programs.

tsé-tsé é o nome, em um dialeto da África Equatorial, da mosca Glossina palpalis que transmite a doença do sono, causada pelo tripanossoma brucei. A tsé-tsé não é a causa dessa doença; apenas a transporta. Como muitos insetos, essa mosca não põe ovos, mas sim as larvas, diretamente no solo, onde se enterram. Poucas horas depois elas se tornam pupas com duros casulos castanhos. Após seis semanas estão adultas, prontas para carregar os tripanossomos. Existem três variedades desta mosca, todas hematófilas. É encontrada desde o lago Chade e do Senegal, ao oeste, até o lago Vitória, ao leste. Esta região é banhada pelo Rio Congo e seus afluentes, sendo conhecida como Coração Verde do Continente Africano. A umidade do local favorece o aparecimento de insetos das mais diversas espécies. Os problemas causados pelo fato deste inseto ser o transmissor da doença do sono têm levado as autoridades da área de saúde a cogitar em programas de extermínio.
