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...

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...

Past attempts to alleviate the problems of poor farmers engaged in mixed-crop-livestock production have generally focussed on the design and diffusion of new technologies targeted on specific components of the agroecosystem. Unfortunately, such piece-meal efforts have had little impact in the dev...

Sleeping sickness is a parasitic, vector-borne disease, carried by the tsetse fly and prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. The disease continues to pose a public health burden in Uganda, which experienced a widespread outbreak in 1900-1920, and a more recent outbreak in 1976-1989. The disease continu...

Background: The expansion of sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (T. rhodesiense) beyond its traditional focus in southeast Uganda, has been linked with large-scale livestock restocking. To assess the risk presented to the human population by domestic livestock, human-infe...
