A welcome resurgence in African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) research has resulted in advances in capabilities, foundational datasets, and understanding. Additionally, there is the prospect of the first new trypanocide in >60 years. However, it is vital to ensure that advances translate to improved and sustainable control in the field. A recent meeting, the Symposium on African Livestock Trypanosomes - Tanzania, convened stakeholders from across the spectrum of AAT research and control to ask how this can be achieved. Current constraints on progress were defined, as were critical gaps and opportunities that need addressing. There is a requirement and opportunity for the AAT research community to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate to maintain momentum and achieve the ultimate goal of sustainable AAT control.
