Abstract:
Uganda has suffered from a series of epidemics of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), a tsetse
transmitted disease, also known as sleeping sickness. The area affected by acute Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense
HAT (rHAT) has been expanding, driven by importation of infected cattle into regions previously free of the disease.
These regions are also affected by African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) demanding a strategy for integrated
disease control.
