  abstract = {{H}uman {A}frican trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) is a parasitic infection that almost invariably progresses to death unless treated. {H}uman {A}frican trypanosomiasis caused devastating epidemics during the 20th century. {T}hanks to sustained and coordinated efforts over the past 15 years, the number of reported cases has fallen to an historically low level. {F}ewer than 3000 cases were reported in 2015, and the disease is targeted for elimination by {WHO}. {D}espite these recent successes, the disease is still endemic in parts of sub-{S}aharan {A}frica, where it is a considerable burden on rural communities, most notably in central {A}frica. {S}ince patients are also reported from non-endemic countries, human {A}frican trypanosomiasis should be considered in differential diagnosis for travellers, tourists, migrants, and expatriates who have visited or lived in endemic areas. {I}n the absence of a vaccine, disease control relies on case detection and treatment, and vector control. {A}vailable drugs are suboptimal, but ongoing clinical trials provide hope for safer and simpler treatments.},
