  abstract = {<p>Uganda is on the verge of eliminating the Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (T b gambiense) form of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), commonly known as sleeping sickness. This elimination would be historic. In 2015, only four cases of this neglected tropical disease were diagnosed in the entire country. A similarly low number of cases in 2016 is a strong indicator that control measures, intensified by Uganda's Ministry of Health and its international partners over the past 8 years, are working. In the first 10 months of 2016, only four cases were reported.<br />
