Abstract EN
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) transmitted by the tsetse fly continues to be a public health issue, despite more than a century of research.
There are two types of the disease, the chronic gambiense and the acute rhodesiense-HAT.
Fly abundance and distribution have been affected by changes in land-use patterns and climate.
However, disease transmission still continues.
Here, we review some aspects of HAT ecoepidemiology in the context of altered infestation patterns and maintenance of the transmission cycle as well as emerging options in disease and vector control.
