  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}he tsetse fly {G}lossina fuscipes s.l. is responsible for the transmission of approximately 90% of cases of human {A}frican trypanosomiasis ({HAT}) or sleeping sickness. {T}hree {G}. fuscipes subspecies have been described, primarily based upon subtle differences in the morphology of their genitalia. {H}ere we describe a study conducted across the range of this important vector to determine whether molecular evidence generated from nuclear {DNA} (microsatellites and gene sequence information), mitochondrial {DNA} and symbiont {DNA} support the existence of these taxa as discrete taxonomic units. {P}rincipal {F}indings: {T}he nuclear ribosomal {I}nternal transcribed spacer 1 ({ITS}1) provided support for the three subspecies. {H}owever nuclear and mitochondrial sequence data did not support the monophyly of the morphological subspecies {G}. f. fuscipes or {G}. f. quanzensis. {I}nstead, the most strongly supported monophyletic group was comprised of flies sampled from {E}thiopia. {M}aternally inherited loci (mt{DNA} and symbiont) also suggested monophyly of a group from {L}ake {V}ictoria basin and {T}anzania, but this group was not supported by nuclear loci, suggesting different histories of these markers. {M}icrosatellite data confirmed strong structuring across the range of {G}. fuscipes s.l., and was useful for deriving the interrelationship of closely related populations. {C}onclusion/{S}ignificance: {W}e propose that the morphological classification alone is not used to classify populations of {G}. fuscipes for control purposes. {T}he {E}thiopian population, which is scheduled to be the target of a sterile insect release ({SIT}) programme, was notably discrete. {F}rom a programmatic perspective this may be both positive, given that it may reflect limited migration into the area or negative if the high levels of differentiation are also reflected in reproductive isolation between this population and the flies to be used in the release programme.},
