Abstract
Human African trypanosomiasis in areas without surveillance.
Highlights
To the Editor: Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), sleeping sickness, is a systemic protozoan disease transmitted by the bite of a tsetse fly; untreated infection is fatal [1]
Human African trypanosomiasis control programs run by Médecins sans Frontières in central Africa, January 2007–May 2009*
Batangafo and Maitikoulou, in northwestern Central African Republic, are historical foci of HAT that have been neglected over the past years, mainly because of political insecurity and logistic constraints
