  abstract = {{T}he {B}andafassi {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance {S}ystem ({B}andafassi {HDSS}) is located in south-eastern {S}enegal, near the borders with {M}ali and {G}uinea. {T}he area is 700 km from the national capital, {D}akar. {T}he population under surveillance is rural and in 2012 comprised 13 378 inhabitants living in 42 villages. {E}stablished in 1970, originally for genetic studies, and initially covering only villages inhabited by one subgroup of the population of the area (the {M}andinka), the project was transformed a few years later into a {HDSS} and then extended to the two other subgroups living in the area: {F}ula villages in 1975, and {B}edik villages in 1980. {D}ata have been collected through annual rounds since the project first began. {O}n each visit, investigators review the composition of all the households, checking the lists of people who were present in each household the previous year and gathering information about births, marriages, migrations and deaths (including their causes) since then. {O}ne specific feature of the {B}andafassi {HDSS} is the availability of genealogies.},
