Investigation on Prevalence of Canine Trypanosomiasis in the Conservation Areas of Bwindi-Mgahinga and Queen Elizabeth in Western Uganda

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2022
Nowadays, despite the instauration of several control strategies, animal trypanosomiasis continues to be reported all over Uganda. Few canine African trypanosomiasis (CAT) studies have been carried out, yet dogs are known Trypanosoma reservoirs that ...

Molecular identification of different trypanosome species and subspecies in tsetse flies of northern Nigeria [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is caused by several species of trypanosomes including Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax, T. godfreyi, T. simiae and T. brucei. Two of the subspecies of T. brucei also cause Human African Trypanosomiasis.

Spatially and genetically distinct African trypanosome virulence variants defined by host interferon-g response [PDF]

, 2007
We describe 2 spatially distinct foci of human African trypansomiasis in eastern Uganda. The Tororo and Soroti foci of <i>Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense</i> infection were genetically distinct as characterized by 6 microsatellite and 1 ...

Modelling to infer the role of animals in gambiense human African trypanosomiasis transmission and elimination in the DRC [PDF]

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT) has been targeted for elimination of transmission (EoT) to humans by 2030. Whilst this ambitious goal is rapidly approaching, there remain fundamental questions about the presence of non-human animal transmission cycles and their potential role in slowing progress ...

Effectiveness of a 10-day melarsoprol schedule for the treatment of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis: confirmation from a multinational study (IMPAMEL II). [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: Treatment of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) with melarsoprol can be improved by shortening the regimen. A previous trial demonstrated the safety and efficacy of a 10-day treatment schedule.

Identifying Transmission Cycles at the Human-Animal Interface: The Role of Animal Reservoirs in Maintaining Gambiense Human African Trypanosomiasis [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2013
Many infections can be transmitted between animals and humans. The epidemiological roles of different species can vary from important reservoirs to dead-end hosts. Here, we present a method to identify transmission cycles in different combinations of species from field data.

First PATTEC consultative workshop on strategies, technical advances and partnerships in tsetse and trypanosomosis management

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2015
Tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T&T) remain endemic in many countries, although many efforts have been made in recent decades within the framework of the Pan-African Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC) Initiative, and despite progress ...
