Risk for Human African Trypanosomiasis, Central Africa, 2000–2009

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Comprehensive georeference records for human African trypanosomiasis in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon were combined with human population layers to estimate a kernel-smoothed relative risk function.

Immunoprophylaxis Against African Trypanosomiasis

, 1977
To put the subject matter of this chapter in its proper perspective, it should first be made clear that the development of a vaccine against trypanosomiasis of cattle and sheep is perhaps the last practical possibility which would occur to most people whose daily business is concerned with the control of trypanosomiasis in the field in Africa today ...

Trypanosomiasis: African and American

Medicine, 2005
Abstract Human African trypanosomiasis has increased in many endemic areas in recent years. It is caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense or T. b. rhodesiense, and is transmitted by the tsetse fly. Diagnosis is difficult, particularly in the West African type, in which organisms are scanty.

Evaluation of the micro-CATT, CATT/Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, and LATEX/T. b. gambiense methods for serodiagnosis and surveillance of human African trypanosomiasis in West and Central Africa

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2002
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of serological tests using dried blood on filter-papers (micro-card agglutination test for trypanosomiasis (micro-CATT)) performed under field and laboratory conditions and using whole blood ((CATT/T.b.

A mathematical model for evaluating the role of trypanocide treatment of cattle in the epidemiology and control of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense sleeping sickness in Uganda

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2019
Background: Human and animal African trypanosomiases impose a large economic and health burden in their endemic regions. Large strides have been made in the control of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), yet these efforts have largely focused on the non-

Molecular epidemiology of African trypanosomiasis: the contributions of David George Godfrey OBE to the biochemical characterization of trypanosomes*

Parasite, 2008
The accurate identification of the causative organisms of disease is fundamental to the study of epidemiology. Hence molecular tools are now widely used to detect and distinguish pathogens, and have greatly improved our understanding of epidemiology ...

Benefit-Cost Analysis and Socio-Economic Considerations of Trypanosomiasis Control and Treatment in Northern Ghana [PDF]

The paper estimates the cost of tsetse control and treatment of trypanosomiasis and the benefits involved, using benefit-cost analysis. It also estimates the extent to which socio-economic characteristics of farmers affect the use of tsetse control ...
