Description

‘Trypanosomiasis’ in general refers to a collection of parasitic diseases caused by both extracellular and intracellular protozoan parasites. This book will focus mainly on the extracellular trypanosome species that cause infections in human and animals and include T. brucei brucei, T. brucei rhodesiense, T. brucei gambiense, T. congolense, T. evansi and T. vivax. Often, the diseases caused by these parasites are referred to as ‘African Trypanosomiasis’. However, while it is correct to state that historically these infections have mostly confined to the sub-Saharan region of the African continent, both T. evansi and T. vivax have moved now beyond the borders of the African continent and infect large regions of Asia and South America, as they no longer need the African tsetse fly as an obligatory host for disease transmission.
