Field Observations on the Use of Rapid Diagnostic Tests for Human African Trypanosomiasis in Nigeria

2025-06-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a Neglected Tropical Disease targeted for elimination by 2030. Control efforts have reduced prevalence, but diagnostic challenges for field surveillance persist. Rapid Diagnostic Test kits (RDTs), used as frontline diagnostic tools for field surveillance, are often based on Variant Surface Glycoproteins (VSGs), which undergo constant mutations and exhibi...
