The objective of this paper is to make quantitative predictions about the magnitude of underreporting of human rabies deaths in the United Republic of Tanzania.
Human rabies deaths were estimated by using a series of probability steps to calculate the likelihood of rabies developing after the bit...

The current control strategies for tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis in cattle (trypanocidal drugs tsetse control and trypanotolerant cattle) are briefly reviewed and their adoption rates in different geographic regions of sub-Saharan Africa are presented. The impact of these control strategies a...

We have carried out a study of risk factors for early detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness. Records of sleeping sickness patients from 1987 to 2001 from Tororo and Busia districts in Uganda were reviewed for their village of origin and clinical stage (early or late). All...

Demographic and epidemiological field data were used in a determinstic model to describe dog rabies transmission in Machakos District, Kenya and to predict the impact of potential vaccination strategies for its control. The basic reproduction number (R0) was estimated to be 2.44 (1.52-3.36, 95% c...

For those with sleeping sickness, the consequences of delayed diagnosis include poor prognosis at treatment and an increased risk of tsetse infection. Data on their socio–demographic and clinical characteristics, health-seeking behaviour and delays in presentation and diagnosis were collected fro...
