Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness): The road to elimination revisited- achievements and remaining challenges

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease

Edited by Christian Burri Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease. doi: 10.3390/books978-3-03928-964-6

Summary: The WHO added HAT to its neglected tropical diseases road map in 2012, targeting its elimination as a public health problem by 2020 and interruption of transmission (zero cases) by 2030. In this Special Issue, room is given to key research questions about understanding communities’ beliefs, needs, and approaches. Topics covered include long-term infection and animal reservoirs, approaches to disease control, the contribution of partners, the development of new drug classes, treatment breakthroughs, and the potential future treatment portfolio. DNDi authors contributed to two articles Innovative partnerships for the elimination of human African trypanosomiasis and the development of fexinidazole and How clinical research can contribute to strengthening health systems in low resource countries.
