Abstract Summary
Despite progress in reducing new cases of Human African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), experts warn of a “punishment of success” paradox: declining numbers may lead public and private health institutions to deprioritize the disease, potentially undermining hard-won gains and risking future outbreaks.
