Human African trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (g-HAT) is transmitted to human beings by tsetse flies in western and central Africa. Human beings are the only significant reservoir of the protozoan parasite, and disease control is focused on the detection and treatment of infected individuals, with or without vector control. Screening for cases can be passive (individuals are examined at fixed centres) or active (mobile teams travel to villages). The card agglutination test for trypanosomiasis and recently developed rapid diagnostic tests are the serological methods used for screening.

口服非那达唑治疗人类非洲锥虫病

由布氏锥虫（Trypanosoma brucei gambiense）（g-HAT）引起的人类非洲锥虫病通过非洲西部和中部的采采蝇传播给人类。人类是原生动物寄生虫的唯一重要宿主，疾病控制集中在有或没有病媒控制下的感染个体的检测和治疗上。病例筛查可以是被动的（在固定中心对个人进行检查），也可以是主动的（机动队前往乡村）。锥虫病的卡凝集试验和最近开发的快速诊断试验是用于筛选的血清学方法。
