"Human African trypanosomiasis is a disease endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. Within this region, the disease is harboured mainly in rural areas 1, where access to medical imaging is often non-existent. Trypanosoma brucei gambiense accounts for the vast majority of reported cases of human African trypanosomiasis. The incidence and prevalence have varied widely over the last two centuries. Under 3,000 cases were reported in 2016, and the incidence is declining 2."
