Background
Trypanosomosis, a parasitic disease transmitted by tsetse flies and other vectors, is a major hurdle along the way towards food security, poverty reduction and health in most countries in Africa. The progressive control pathway (PCP) for African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is a stepwise, evidence-based approach designed to reduce and, where...

Meetings
African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is a major constraint on livestock health in sub-Saharan Africa. With no vaccine, trypanocidal drugs are the mainstay of control. Recently there have been step change advances towards more effective AAT control, through research on treatment failure, drug resistance and quality of trypanocidal drugs, and development...

Meetings
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is a vector-borne disease transmitted by tsetse flies. The gambiense form of HAT (gHAT) is found in western and central Africa, and it is mainly anthroponotic (i.e. transmitted from human to human via the tsetse vector); the rhodesiense form is found...
