Journal ArticleDOI
Tripartite interactions between tsetse flies, Sodalis glossinidius and trypanosomes--an epidemiological approach in two historical human African trypanosomiasis foci in Cameroon.
Oumarou Farikou,Flobert Njiokou,Jean A. Mbida Mbida,Guy R. Njitchouang,Hugues Nana Djeunga,Tazoacha Asonganyi,Pere P. Simarro,Gérard Cuny,Anne Geiger +8 more
TL;DR: This hypothesis was statistically tested and assessed, showing that S. glossinidius is potentially an efficient target for controlling tsetse fly vectorial competence and consequently sleeping sickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense group 1 in pigs from the Fontem sleeping sickness focus in 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absence of the LiTat 1.3 (CATT antigen) gene in Trypanosoma brucei gambiense stocks from Cameroon
P. Dukes,Wendy Gibson,J.K. Gashumba,K.M. Hudson,Teresa J. Bromidge,A. Kaukus,Tazoacha Asonganyi,Eddy Magnus +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the absence of LiTat 1.3 expression in this focus may have important implications for the epidemiology and control of sleeping sickness, especially if heavy reliance is placed on the CATT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsporidian Infection Is Prevalent in Healthy People in Cameroon
TL;DR: Stool samples from both HIV patients and healthy people were examined to begin filling in this serious gap in the understanding of human microsporidiosis, particularly the enteric parasite Enterocytozoon bieneusi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tsetse fly host preference from sleeping sickness foci in Cameroon: epidemiological implications.
Gustave Simo,Flobert Njiokou,J.A. Mbida Mbida,Guy R. Njitchouang,Stéphane Herder,Tazoacha Asonganyi,Gérard Cuny +6 more
TL;DR: The consideration of both results of the prevalence of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in vertebrate hosts and those of the tsetse fly host preferences indicates a wild animal reservoir of Gambian sleeping sickness and three transmission cycles (human, domestic and wild animals' cycles) in southern Cameroon HAT foci.
