Figure 1

African trypanosomiasis repartition and sociopolitical instability. (a) Illustration of the geographical repartition of the countries reporting the higher number of foci of both T.b. subspecies causing HAT. (b) Illustration of the geographical repartition of the countries at war from more than 10 years. Note the correlation between countries at war and the localization of foci of T.b. gambiense. HAT cases occur more often in countries with conflict, high political terror, or civil war, with a lag of about 10 years between the conflict beginning and peak in incidence [12]. Epidemiological data are from [16].
