TL;DR: Suramin, a drug used exclusively for treatment of early-stage human African trypanosomiasis with no CNS involvement, effected apparent cure in the patient, the first case reported of human infection due to Trypanosoma evansi.

TL;DR: Blood was collected from wild animals in three human African trypanosomiasis foci and from a nonendemic control area to study the existence of a wild animal reservoir for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in South Cameroon.

TL;DR: To understand the importance of domestic pigs in the epidemiology of humantrypanosomiasis, PCR was used to identify trypanosome populations in 133 pigs from the Fontem sleeping sickness focus of Cameroon and observed that under natural conditions, 52.4% of the pigs fromThe Fontem focus carry mixed infections with T. b.

TL;DR: The first outbreak of trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosoma evansi in camels in France was reported on a farm in the Aveyron Department and the parasite was probably transmitted by tabanids and Stomoxys calcitrans, which were abundant in July to September 2006.

TL;DR: PCR was used to detect the different trypanosome species present in wild animal captured by hunters in the southern forest belt of Cameroon and found parasites pathogenic to man in 164 animals belonging to 24 different species including ungulates, rodents, pangolins, carnivores, reptiles and primates.
