HOW ?
They are transmitted to humans by tsetse fly ( Glossina genus) bites which have acquired their infection from human beings or from animals harbouring human pathogenic parasites. Tsetse flies are found just in sub-Saharan Africa though only certain species transmit the disease.
symptoms
Stage 2: When the parasites invade the central nervous system, the symptoms include:
Confusion
Sleepiness
Sleeping difficulty - insomnia
Personality change
Seizures
Unconsciousness
Stage 1: after few weeks or several months of infection, the symptoms include:Headaches Weakness Weight loss
DEATH RATE
When left untreated, the mortality rate of African sleeping sickness is close to 100%. It is estimated that 50,000 to 500,000 people die from this disease every year
EFFECTS?
Across sub-Saharan Africa, HAT Tbg maintaining 'Control' would lead to a decline in cases and cost US$630.6 million. In comparison, the cost of 'Elimination' programme ranged from US$410.9 million to US$1.2 billion. Maintaining 'Control' would continue to cause impoverishment and financial hardship to households; while all 'Elimination' programme would lead to significant reductions in poverty.
Treatment
Pentamidine: discovered in 1940, used for the treatment of the first stage of T. b. gambiense sleeping sickness. Despite non-negligible undesirable effects, it is in general well tolerated by patients. Suramin: discovered in 1920, used for the treatment of the first stage of T. b. rhodesiense.
