Editor’s summary
As demand for draft oxen (predominately Zebu cattle) and private cattle trading continues from endemic to pathogen-free areas of northern Uganda, treatment at market is essential to limit the continued expansion of the T. b. rhodesiense focus and prevent the potential overlap with the Gambian sleeping sickness focus. Although implementation of effective zoonotic disease control in resource-poor areas may appear challenging, the costs of neglecting to prevent the future spread of T. b. rhodesiense will be much higher.
