Abstract
Current methods of trypanosomiasis control in Africa largely depend on eradication of the insect vector and the use of trypanocidal drugs. Both methods can be highly successful but suffer from various constraints. Recent studies have demonstrated how both methods may gain wider and more effective usage in the future.Keywords
