  abstract = {{B}urkina {F}aso belongs to a group of countries in which human {A}frican trypanosomiasis ({HAT}), caused by {T}rypanosoma brucei gambiense, is no longer considered to be a public health problem. {A}lthough no native cases have been detected since 1993, there is still the risk of {HAT} re-emergence due to significant population movements between {B}urkina {F}aso and active {HAT} foci in {C}ote d'{I}voire. {S}ince 2014, {B}urkina {F}aso receives support from the {WHO} to implement a passive surveillance program. {T}his resulted in the detection in 2015 of the first putative native {HAT} case since two decades. {H}owever, epidemiological entomological and molecular biology investigations have not been able to identify with certainty the origin of this infection or to confirm that it was due to {T}. b. gambiense. {T}his case emphasises the need to strengthen passive surveillance of the disease for sustained elimination of {HAT} as a public health problem in {B}urkina {F}aso.},
