| Research Abstract |
Prominent achievements of this research project are : (1) Identification of a wild animal reservoir of human and animal African trypanosomosis, and of tsetse fly species that predominantly transmit the diseases in studied area. (2) Discovery of novel serodiagnositic antigen candidates for development of point-of-care diagnostics for African trypanosomoses. By carrying out this study forward, we will be able to contribute better understanding of epidemiology, improvement of diagnostics, and eventually control of African trypanosomoses.
