Modelling timelines to elimination of sleeping sickness in the DRC accounting for possible cryptic human and animal transmission

2024-03-20

Abstract excerpt

Sleeping sickness (gambiense human African trypanosomiasis, gHAT) is a vector-borne disease targeted for global elimination of transmission (EoT) by 2030. There are, however, unknowns that have the potential to hinder the achievement and measurement of this goal. These include asymptomatic gHAT infections (inclusive of the potential to self-cure or harbour skin-only infections) and whether gHAT infection in animal...
