Tens of thousands continue to die each year
WHO estimated that in 2001, there were 48,000 deaths caused by sleeping sickness.

Tens of thousands continue to die each year
WHO estimated that in 2001, there were 48,000 deaths caused by sleeping sickness.
Currently, it is estimated the number of deaths per year has increased to 50,000 or as high as 100,000.

As many as 500,000 are currently infected.

How can an infectious disease be contained to such a specific region of
the world?
Let’s take a closer look at how the disease is spread…

Disease Transfer
The disease is caused by two parasites of the Trypanosoma Genus and brucei Species.

Disease Transfer
The trypanosomes are mainly transferred by the tsetse fly, which is found primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Diagnosis and Treatment
The disease is easier and more effective to treat the earlier it is diagnosed.

Diagnosis and Treatment
The disease is easier and more effective to treat the earlier it is diagnosed.
Much harder after the pathogens have crossed the blood-brain barrier.

Diagnosis and Treatment
The two drugs available for second-stage treatment are significantly more dangerous.

So, in summary, treatment during the first-stage is…

Like with malaria, if we could reduce the number of people with the disease, we could reduce transmissions and eventually eradicate the disease.

Due to lack of funds and turmoil, there are an estimated 7 nations currently at “epidemic” level for the disease.

Like many other infectious diseases in third world countries, much change is needed in world health policies before we can effectively eradicate African Sleeping Sickness.
