Background During the late-stage disease associated with human African trypanosomiasis,
caused by infection with either Trypanosoma gambiense or T. rhodesiense, parasites invade
the central nervous system (CNS), eventually leading to development of CNS pathology.
This can be exacerbated by subcurative chemotherapy. The mechanisms through which the
inflammatory processes within the CNS are controlled remain unclear.
