The third renewal of nets, which took place after 2 years instead of 3 years together with a higher use of LLINs especially among the young, probably prevented the occurrence of a third malaria upsurge in this village.Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) remains a serious public health problem with diagnostic and treatment challenges in many African countries. The absence of a gold-standard biomarker has been a major difficulty for accurate disease staging and treatment follow-up. We therefore attempted to develop a simple, affordable, and noninvasive biomarker for HAT diagnosis and staging. Simultaneous actigraphy and polysomnography as well as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) white blood cell (WBC) count, trypanosome presence, and C-X-C motif ligand (CXCL)-10 cytokine levels were performed in 20 HAT patients and nine healthy individuals (controls) using standard procedures. The International HIV Dementia Scale (IHDS) was scored in some patients as a surrogate for clinical assessment. From actigraphic parameters, we developed a novel sleep score and used it to determine correlations with other HAT markers, and compared their performance in differentiating between patients and controls and between HAT stages. The novel actigraphy sleep score (ASS) had the following ranges 0-25 (healthy controls), 67-103 (HAT stage I), 111-126 (HAT intermediate), and 133-250 (HAT stage II). Compared with controls, stage I patients displayed a 7-fold increase in the ASS (P less then 0.01), intermediate stage patients a 10-fold increase (P less then 0.001), and HAT stage II patients an almost 20-fold increase (P less then 0.001). CXCL-10 showed high interindividual differences. White blood cell counts were only marked in HAT stage II patients with a high
