Identification of Trypanosome proteins in plasma from African sleeping sickness patients infected with T. b. rhodesiense. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Control of human African sleeping sickness, caused by subspecies of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, is based on preventing transmission by elimination of the tsetse vector and by active diagnostic screening and treatment of infected patients ...

Implications of Heterogeneous Biting Exposure and Animal Hosts on Trypanosomiasis brucei gambiense Transmission and Control. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 The gambiense form of sleeping sickness is a neglected tropical disease, which is presumed to be anthroponotic. However, the parasite persists in human populations at levels of considerable rarity and as such the existence of animal reservoirs has been ...

Tsetse Control and the Elimination of Gambian Sleeping Sickness
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 Sleeping sickness, or Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), is caused by two distinct parasites. In East and Southern Africa, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense causes the Rhodesian form of the disease (about 2% of all reported cases [1]). In Central and West
