Risk for human African trypanosomiasis, Central Africa, 2000-2009
Emerg Infect Dis.
2011 Dec.
Abstract
Comprehensive georeference records for human African trypanosomiasis in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon were combined with human population layers to estimate a kernel-smoothed relative risk function. Five risk categories were mapped, and ≈3.5 million persons were estimated to be at risk for this disease.
