Health modeling: Beyond data, how can mathematics support a program to combat sleeping sickness?
28/11/2023
To fight against sleeping sickness, different tools are available to National Programs, such as active detection of cases via medical surveys, implementation of tests in village health posts, vector control, etc. Depending on the countries, the foci, the levels of endemicity, the combination of these approaches must be adapted and its impact must be evaluated. To do this, and quite recently, the PNLTHA/MTN and the IRD have developed a collaboration, as part of the TrypaNO! project, with mathematicians from the University of Warwick (UK). This group of modelers, called HAT MEPP, for “Economic Modeling and Forecasting for HAT Policy”, led by Prof. Kat Rock, accompanied by Ron Crump and Sam Sutherland, came to Guinea from November 19 to 25, 2023.

Bring together in a limited space, in a tropical or subtropical zone, a single-celled organism called a trypanosome, a vector - a large fly called glossina (or tsetse fly) - men and animals and you run the risk of seeing the emergence of sleeping sickness (Human (or Animal) African Trypanosomiasis (THA or TAA)), a health disaster of the kind described (in the 13th century!) by an Arab geographer: a village (in East Africa) where « people and dogs were just skin and bones and seemed to be sleeping in the middle of the day ».

A second Metabarcoding workshop was organized in Conakry
05/09/2023
Following a first training in June 2022 in Conakry, a second workshop on the bioinformatics and biostatistical processing of data generated by directed metagenomics (or Metabarcoding, MBC) was organized from August 29 to September 6, 2023, still in Guinea. Trainers and learners from six countries were represented (Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Mexico and France). The training was completed by a field session, with capture and dissection of tsetse flies present on the Loos Islands. An intense and very rich program in scientific and cultural interactions.
