Trypanosomiasis control in relation to other public health services*

N R E Fendall, B A Southgate, J R H Berrie
PMCID: PMC2554944  PMID: 13962907

Abstract

The authors describe the aims and principles of trypanosomiasis control and discuss the individual techniques of control and the ways in which these can be channelled through a general rural health service. They argue that, given the circumstances at present prevailing in rural Africa, a broad-based general public health service should be established before specific campaigns for control or eradication of sleeping-sickness, or indeed any other specific diseases, are instituted. They emphasize the necessity of international co-operation for effective trypanomiasis control.
