| Research Abstract |
Molecular epidemiological surveillance of human and animal had been conducted in Zambia and Sudan and human cases were confirmed in the Eastern Province in Zambia. Tsetse flies (Glossina morsitans) were infected with human-infective Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense at high infection ratio, and warthog and kudu were supposed to serve as natural reservoirs. In Sudan, high infection rate with T. evansi was observed in camels.
