A method of detecting the parasites in their low blood amounts by using DEAE cellulose column chromatography is described and compared to other laboratory diagnostic techniques, in particular, for trypanosomiasis. A screening of 250 patients with suspected trypanosomiasis was performed. Serological survey and studies of primary medical documentation in Angola sanitary areas endemic for Gambian trypanosomiasis in 1983-1985, preceded the selection of the examined group. In spite of some limitations of the method, in allowed one to detect Trypanosoma in 17% patients, whose infection was not revealed by classic methods. The method allowed one to reveal more cases of infection (44.2%) than the study of a lymph nodal punctate (37.5%), blood (24%) or cerebrospinal fluid (13%).

The epidemiological analysis of infectious morbidity for recent years has been made and the main nosological forms existing in Angola (malaria, tuberculosis, lepra, African trypanosomiasis, plague, intestinal diseases, etc.) have been briefly characterized on the basis of primary medical reports and the data provided by the literature and experimental work. This analysis creates the necessary prerequisites which enable the local public health organs to determine the regularities of the epidemic process, thus making it possible to take rational prophylactic measures and to organize proper epidemiological supervision.
