[Trypanosomiases].
Trypanosomiases are imported and rare parasitosis on the French metropolitan territory. They are re-emerging in some endemic areas, and their mode of transmission can lead to an increase of imported cases in a near future. They can be responsible for serious disease. In this paper, we describe the basic data concerning epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of sleeping sickness (Africa) and Chagas disease (Latin America).
