Abstract
⺠Wigglesworthia glossinidia and Sodalis glossinidius are two Glossina symbionts. ⺠Primary and secondary symbionts are colony fly's permanent inhabitants. ⺠Symbionts density vary along the fly live span. ⺠The Wigglesworthia population is always higher than that of Sodalis. ⺠Their role (fly reproduction/vector competence) makes them targets to fight HAT.
