The author describes a number of epidemiological factors affecting the occurrence of the disease among fishermen, placing emphasi~ on the correct development of the local fishing industry to avoid, on the one hand, depleting the fish population and, on the other, increasing the incidence of sleeping-sickness. Sociological factors which militate against the development of settlement in Glossinainfested areas of south-east Uganda are also described and plans for future settlement in that area are discussed.englishhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionTrypanosomaDiseasesFishSleeping sicknesshttps://doi.org/10.1016/0035-9203(58)90047-6
