Abstract
Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT, or sleeping sickness) caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense develops chronically in Côte d'Ivoire. From 1993 to 2000, a total of 1616 patients were taken in charge in the three treatment centres of the country, which means an average of 202 patients a year. The patients came from two main areas in the Centre West of the country in the Marahoué region: the districts of Sinfra, South of Bouaflé, and Bonon, West of Bouaflé. In the Centre West and in the South East of the country (Aboisso-Ayamé), patients are still struck by the disease, although these foci are less active. The remaining foci seem to be controlled, although no active survey has been carried out. The areas where the greatest number of patients were recorded are the ones where rental crops are located (cocoa and coffee mainly) and where rural activities tend to bring humans and tsetse flies in contact. In this study, are figured the number of treated patients, the endemic and risk areas. It will help to design control strategies and decision makers to know where priority control programs should be implemented.
