Based on information on the HAT reported cases and the geographic distribution of human population, spatially explicit estimates of population at risk have been calculated and classified in five categories of risk, ranging from “very high” to “very low”.
For gambiense HAT, 51 million people are estimated to be at risk of infection (period 2014-2018), with less than 0.3 % at very high and high risk, and 10.8 % at moderate risk.
For rhodesiense HAT, less than 3 million people are estimated to be at risk of infection (period 2014-2018). Most are in the low and very low risk categories (97%), while only 77,000 people are at moderate risk.
