Cost analysis of options for management of African Animal Trypanosomiasis using interventions targeted at cattle in Tororo District; south-eastern Uganda [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Tsetse-transmitted African trypanosomes cause both nagana (African animal Trypanosomiasis-AAT) and sleeping sickness (human African Trypanosomiasis - HAT) across Sub-Saharan Africa.

A murine model of Trypanosoma brucei-induced myocarditis and cardiac dysfunction [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Trypanosoma brucei is a protozoan parasite that causes human and animal African trypanosomiases (HAT and AAT). Cardiac symptoms are commonly reported in HAT patients, and intracardiac parasites with accompanying myocarditis have been observed in both ...

Tsetse and African Animal Trypanosomiasis status; prevalence, spatial distribution, and implications to control trypanosomiasis in Uganda

Tropical Animal Health and Production
Abstract African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) transmitted by tsetse flies poses a threat to livestock in Uganda. The disease has been present in the country for many years. Mapping of the disease prevalence and vector spatial distribution in the country was undertaken to assess the situation.

The study of trypanosome species circulating in domestic animals in two human African trypanosomiasis foci of Côte d'Ivoire identifies pigs and cattle as potential reservoirs of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BACKGROUND:Important control efforts have led to a significant reduction of the prevalence of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in Côte d'Ivoire, but the disease is still present in several foci.

Controlling Human And Animal African Trypanosomiasis Using Insecticide Treated Cattle: What Are The Costs And Benefits? [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract Background The tsetse-transmitted African trypanosomiases affect humans and animals. Trypanosoma. brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness, or human African trypanosomiasis is a zoonosis, for which cattle are the main reservoir of infection in south-eastern Uganda.

The transmission of African Animal Trypanosomiasis (Nagana) in two districts in the forest zone of Ghana [PDF]

, 2021
AbstractThe African Animal Trypanosomiasis (nagana) is caused by several species of trypanosome species which results in significant clinical diseases. This consequently leads to huge economic losses. We carried out a cross-sectional survey to investigate the composition of vectors, parasite diversity and intensities in two districts in the Eastern ...

Mathematical Model for Describing the Transmission of Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Cattle

Asian Research Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we have formulated a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) by incorporating spraying of the tsetse y population(vector) and treating the cattle population (host) as control strategies.

Deciphering the Molecular Mechanism Underlying African Animal Trypanosomiasis by Means of the 1000 Bull Genomes Project Genomic Dataset [PDF]

Biology, 2022
African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a neglected tropical disease and spreads by the vector tsetse fly, which carries the infectious Trypanosoma sp. in their saliva. Particularly, this parasitic disease affects the health of livestock, thereby imposing economic constraints on farmers, costing billions of dollars every year, especially in sub-Saharan

In Vitro Leishmanicidal Efficacy of Synthesized Arylidene Analogues of Glitazone. [PDF]

Drug Dev Res
ABSTRACT Diabetes is a fast‐growing health issue in low‐ and middle‐income countries, with ~80% of diabetics living in the tropics and sub‐tropics. It is a deadly condition claiming the lives of millions of individuals annually, with no therapeutic treatment available to date. The management of diabetes is thus limited to symptomatic relief by glycemic

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.
