- W4311589099 abstract "Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is one of the world's classical neglected tropical diseases representing a major public health threat in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the parasitic disease is in decline in the Republic of Congo, the better understanding of the epidemiological situation of active foci is required to reduce the risk of disease resurgence which could impede progress registered so far. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HAT and the associated risk factors in individuals living in remote areas of the Republic of Congo.A cross-sectional survey was carried out in volunteers living in rural settings from June 2020 to January 2021. Socio-demographic and Clinical parameters of the participants were recorded. The presence of HAT-specific antibodies was assessed in whole blood, and then confirmed in serial diluted plasma samples using Card-Agglutination Trypanosomiasis Test (CATT)/T.b. gambiense CATT. The Capillary Tube Centrifugation (CTC) and Lymph nodes (LN) examination were done for detecting trypanosome parasites in CATT-serum positive cases. The staging of positive participants was determined by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination.Out of 8556 enrolled participants, 48.5% were more than 15 years old, 57.7% were unschooled and 67.2% practiced peasant activities. The prevalence of HAT infection was 0.3% with the predominance of patients at stage 1 of the disease (84.0%). The districts of Mindouli (OR: 25.9 (5.2-468); p = 0.0016) and Mpouya (OR: 13.3 (2.5-246); p = 0.0140) was revealed as the foci of high risk of HAT infection. Several factors were associated with an increased risk of HAT infection mainly including the non-schooling (OR: 5.1 (1.2-21.9); p = 0.0268), the life in couple or married (OR: 3.3 (1.0-11.3); p = 0.0545) and the practice of peasant activities (OR: 6.9 (2.4-29.3); p = 0.0017).This study highlights the need of revising and strengthening the strategies of HAT control in Republic of Congo, using an approach which will take into account the education level, the marital status and the occupation of the population at risk." @default.
