Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is a vector-borne 
parasitic disease transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tsetse fly (Glossina spp). The 
disease is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, within the limits of the geographic distribution of 
the tsetse fly. Two sub-species of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei cause the disease 
in humans: T.b. gambiense and T.b. rhodesiense. Infection with T.b. gambiense causes the 
chronic form of HAT (gambiense ...

Introduction 
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), or African Sleeping 
Sickness, is caused by two sub-species of Trypanosoma brucei. T. b. 
gambiense accounts for approximately 95% of HAT infections and 
occurs across East and Central sub-Saharan Africa. The remaining infections are caused by T. b. rhodesiense in West and Southern 
Africa. The disease has two stages: Stage 1, where the parasites are 
limited to the bloodstream, interstitial fluids and lymph of the 
patient, and stage 2, where ...

Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is an infectious disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei 
(T b) gambiense or T b rhodesiense which usually has a fatal outcome 
after two to three years if left untreated (Buscher et al., 2017; Sudarshi 
et al., 2014). The parasite is transmitted by tsetse flies that are only 
present in a number of Sub-Saharan African countries. The West 
African variant caused by T b gambiense (g-HAT) is the most common 
form of t...
