Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the sole vectors of African trypanosomes, the causative agent of sleeping sickness in human and nagana in animals. Like most eukaryotic organisms, Glossina<\/em> species have established symbiotic associations with bacteria. Three main symbiotic bacteria have been found in tsetse flies: Wigglesworthia glossinidia<\/em>, an obligate symbiotic bacterium, the secondary endosymbiont Sodalis glossinidius<\/em> and the reproductive symbiont Wolbachia pipientis.<\/em> In the present review, we discuss recent studies on the detection and characterization of Wolbachia<\/em> infections in Glossina<\/em> species, the horizontal transfer of Wolbachia<\/em> genes to tsetse chromosomes, the ability of this symbiont to induce cytoplasmic incompatibility in Glossina morsitans morsitans<\/em> and also how new environment-friendly tools for disease control could be developed by harnessing Wolbachia<\/em> symbiosis.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
