非洲锥虫病是由锥虫引起的传染病。非洲动物锥虫（AAT）仍然是一些受影响地区畜牧业生产的重要威胁，而人类非洲锥虫（HAT）的目标是在2020年消除。在西非和中非，已经表明，引起这些疾病的寄生虫可以在同一采采蝇或同一动物体内共存。在这种复杂的环境中，这些疾病的控制必须放在锥虫病控制或“一个健康”概念的总体背景下，协调控制行动将有利于这两种疾病。在这种情况下，实施反恐怖主义行动的控制活动将有助于维持对反恐怖主义行动的控制。它还将对动物健康和该地区的经济发展产生积极影响。对居民进行关于如何使用和维持病媒控制工具的培训，将使控制行动能够长期持续下去，最终消除有害生物和有毒有害生物。
African trypanosomiases are infectious diseases caused by trypanosomes. African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) remains an important threat for livestock production in some affected areas whereas human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is targeted for elimination in 2020. In West and Central Africa, it has been shown that the parasites causing these diseases can coexist in the same tsetse fly or the same animal. In such complex settings, the control of these diseases must be put in the general context of trypanosomiasis control or "one health" concept where the coordination of control operations will be beneficial for both diseases. In this context, implementing control activities on AAT will help to sustain HAT control. It will also have a positive impact on animal health and economic development of the regions. The training of inhabitants on how to implement and sustain vector control tools will enable a long-term sustainability of control operations that will lead to the elimination of HAT and AAT.
