  abstract = {{T}his paper reports the first evidence of the presence of bacteria, other than the three previously described as symbionts, {W}igglesworthia glossinidia, {W}olbachia, and {S}odalis glossinidius, in the midgut of {G}lossina palpalis palpalis, the tsetse fly, a vector of the chronic form of human {A}frican trypanosomiasis in sub-{S}aharan {A}frican countries. {B}ased on the morphological, nutritional, physiological, and phylogenetic results, we identified {E}nterobacter, {E}nterococcus, and {A}cinetobacter spp. as inhabitants of the midgut of the tsetse fly from {A}ngola. {E}nterobacter spp. was the most frequently isolated. {T}he role of these bacteria in the gut, in terms of vector competence of the tsetse fly, is discussed, as is the possibility of using these bacteria to produce in situ trypanolytic molecules.},
