Abstract : Simple Summary Tsetse flies transmit Trypanosoma parasites, which cause severe diseases in humans and animals. To reduce the number of tsetse flies, male flies are sterilized through irradiation and released into the field to compete with wild male flies for mating with wild females. Recently, two insect-specific viruses were discovered in mass-reared Glossina morsitans morsitans tsetse flies.
