Monitoring the presence of trypanosomes' DNA - Including Trypanosoma brucei gambiense DNA - From the midguts of riverine Glossina trapped in the south east outskirts of Kinshasa City (Democratic Republic of Congo)

摘要

Even if the number of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) cases from Kinshasa province in DRC is going towards elimination for the last decade, cases still occur in the periphery of the city. The diagnosis of 21 cases in the south periphery of Kinshasa, between 2015 and 2017 gives evidence of the existence of an active focus in this area.
