Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is caused by which is transmitted by the tsetse fly insect vector ( spp). It is one of the 20 Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) listed by the WHO. These diseases affect the poorest and most vulnerable communities, for which the WHO has established a dedicated 2021-2030 roadmap.

- Brucellosis, Q fever, and Rift Valley fever are important zoonotic diseases causing economic issues in livestock, particularly in developing African countries like Guinea, where they are often under-reported.
- The study assessed the presence of these diseases in domestic ruminants by analyzing blood samples from over 1,300 animals across 17 areas in Guinea between 2017 and 2019, finding cattle had the highest rates of infection.
- The findings emphasize the need for better monitoring of these diseases in livestock and suggest health screenings for humans in contact with affected animals, advocating for a coordinated One Health approach.
Background: Activities to control human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in Guinea were severely hampered by the Ebola epidemic that hit this country between 2014 and 2016. Active screening was completely interrupted and passive screening could only be maintained in a few health facilities. At the end of the epidemic, medical interventions were progressively intensified to mitigate the risk of HAT resurgence and progress towards disease elimination.

Microsatellite loci still represent valuable resources for the study of the population biology of non-model organisms. Discovering or adapting new suitable microsatellite markers in species of interest still represents a useful task, especially so for non-model organisms as tsetse flies (genus Glossina), which remain a serious threat to the health of humans and animals in sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, we present the development of new microsatellite loci for four species of Glossina: two from the Morsitans group, G.
