  abstract = {{H}uman population growth, climate change and economic development are causing major environmental modifications in {W}estern {A}frica, which will have important repercussions on the epidemiology of sleeping sickness. {A} new initiative, the {A}tlas of human {A}frican trypanosomiasis ({HAT}), aims at assembling and geo-referencing all epidemiological data derived from both active screening activities and passive surveillance. {A} geographic database enables to generate up-to-date disease maps at a range of scales and of unprecedented spatial accuracy. {W}e present preliminary results for seven {W}est {A}frican countries ({B}enin, {B}urkina {F}aso, {C}ote d'lvoire, {G}hana, {G}uinea, {M}ali and {T}ogo) and briefly discuss the relevance of the {A}tlas for future monitoring, control and {L} research activities.},
