#Parasitology paperwatch: justifiably bullish update on progress towards elimination of #HAT (#SleepingSickness) as a public health concern, & an outstanding example of the health benefits that can be achieved when national and international organisations can work together in a coordinated and sustained way to achieve a set goal.
Enriched by some useful charts of incidence and geographical distribution that are due to feature heavily in introductory slides for scientific talks over the next few years.
Despite the good news, the article maintains a sober and appropriately cautious tone throughout, noting caveats and remaining challenges while still previewing the next big target: elimination of #gHAT transmission
