[Trypanosomiasis caused by T. b. gambiense: methods of control]

Abstract

This paper reviews the different ways currently available for screening sleeping sickness. These ways are then integrated and discussed by the author in proposing different strategic and methodologic solutions after emphasizing the role of each of the technical stages. Altogether, there isn't one standard solution but adaptations around a main plan, according to contexts and having regard to efficiency and profitability. At all events, success depends on political will, community participation and the motivation and good training of the personnel.
