Research on sleeping sickness, human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), shows stagnant publication numbers. Interest appears to have waned compared to malaria, despite continued funding for HAT research networks.

Area of Science:

  • Neglected tropical diseases
  • Medical research funding
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), or sleeping sickness, is a vector-borne parasitic disease.
  • Funding for HAT research has been a concern amidst competing global health priorities.
  • Publication trends can indicate research interest and momentum.

Purpose:

  • To assess the trend in research publications on human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) over the past 14 years.
  • To compare HAT research output with that of malaria.
  • To evaluate the impact of funding on HAT research visibility.

Summary:

  • A review of the Medline database over 14 years revealed stagnant publication numbers for HAT.
  • In contrast, malaria research publications showed a steady increase during the same period.

  • This suggests a potential decline in research interest in HAT, possibly shifting towards other endemic diseases, despite ongoing financial support for research networks.

    • Impact:

    • Findings highlight a potential waning of scientific and public interest in HAT research.
    • The study underscores the need to re-evaluate research priorities and funding strategies for neglected tropical diseases like HAT.
    • A multidisciplinary approach, encompassing sleep, endocrine rhythms, biomarkers, pathophysiology, and drug development, is crucial for advancing HAT research.
