The aim of the present work was to study the cycle of transmission of T. b rhodesiense clone Etat 1/10 by G. morsitans from an infected bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) to a Boran steer (Bos indicus), a goat (Capra hirci) and, by tsetse, from the infected domestic ruminants to bushbuck. The sensit...

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...

Geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing were used to identify villages at high risk for sleeping sickness, as defined by reported incidence. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) satellite data were classified to obtain a map of land cover, and the Normalised Difference Vegetatio...

To formally quantify the level of under-detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness (SS) during an epidemic in Uganda, a decision tree (under-detection) model was developed; concurrently, to quantify the subset of undetected cases that sought health care but were not diagnosed, ...
