Measuring elimination of <i>gambiense</i> human African trypanosomiasis: A comparison of deceptively different metrics

2025-08-12

Abstract excerpt

Modelling is an effective and widely used tool for predicting the future trajectory of infectious diseases. One of its strengths is its ability to measure and predict metrics that are unobservable in real life, such as the true prevalence, or when infection events occur. Policy goals, on the other hand, must necessarily be based on observable metrics in order to be verifiable. The World Health Organisation (WHO) h...
