The Tsetse fly (Glossina) is a genus of insects known for their ability to suck blood from animals and humans. These flies are widespread in Africa and play a key role in the spread of dangerous diseases, such as sleeping sickness (trypanosomiasis). With its characteristic long and thin body, the Tsetse fly is not only an unpleasant blood-sucking parasite, but also a significant health risk to the local population and livestock. Fighting them is an important part of infectious disease control efforts in the region.Latin name:Glossina spp.
