Tsetse Control and Gambian Sleeping Sickness; Implications for Control Strategy.

Tsetse Control and Gambian Sleeping Sickness; Implications for Control Strategy.

BACKGROUND:Gambian sleeping sickness (human African trypanosomiasis, HAT) outbreaks are brought under control by case detection and treatment although it is recognised that this typically only reaches about 75% of the population. Vector control is capable of completely interrupting HAT transmission...
