LETTER TO THE EDITOR Glossina Spp: An Auxiliary/Accidental Vector for Mansonella perstans in Eastern Province of Zambia?
We conducted a cross-sectional parasitological survey for Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) among the inhabitants of 12 villages in Chama District, Luangwa valley, in the Eastern Province of Zambia from 21 August to 4 September 2010. These villages have had a history of being the origin of HAT cases occasionally diagnosed and treated at Chama District hospital. Historically Luangwa valley has been known to be a significant focus for sleeping sickness transmission in Zambia [1]. HAT in Zambia is caused by the haemoflagellate Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense.
