 * Symbol voting keep.svg New and long enough, QPQ review performed, checks for copyvio reveal no problems (e.g., only quoted content is picked up), all paragraphs have inline citations. Hook content is backed with inline citations to reliable sources in the article, one of which I cannot access, and I can only access the abstract for the other, so AGF. In the hook, the word "trypanosomes" is used, which links to African trypanosomiasis, and in the article, the term sleeping sickness is used, which also links to African trypanosomiasis (in the article), which appears to be all right.

 * Symbol question.svg The sentences that state the hook fact don't say anything about humans, only about "hosts" and "living beings". Yoninah (talk) 20:27, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Sleeping sickness is specifically a human disease. Why does human have to be specifically stated in the article when sleeping sickness means that same exact thing? Silver  seren C 21:32, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Because it's not obvious to some people? Yoninah (talk) 22:30, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * There, humans added into the article. Better? Silver  seren C 22:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
