The World Health Organization is using a new combination of drugs to treat African trypanosomiasis disease，also known as sleeping sickness.The drugs will be given out in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Officials says the new treatment has fewer side effects.It is also more effective and less costly than the drugs traditionally used.In addition，the new treatment reduces the number of injections needed.And it shortens the amount of time patients must spend in hospital.

Sleeping sickness threatens millions of people in 36 countries in Africa.Most live in poor rural areas.The disease is caused by the trypanosoma parasite(寄生物)．It is spread to humans through the bite of infected tsetse flies.Common signs of sleeping sickness include fever，headaches，extreme tiredness and pain in the muscles and joints.Early identification of the disease may be difficult because many infected people do not show any immediate symptoms.Over time，the parasites invade the central nervous system.The disease causes sleep disorders，mental confusion，personality changes and speech problems.If left untreated，sleeping sickness kills.

It's estimated that about 60,000 people are currently infected with the disease.It develops in two different forms.Trypanosoma gambiense is responsible for 90% of the reported cases of sleeping sickness.People infected with this form may develop the disease over many years without any major symptoms.Until now the drug melarsoprol is used to treat patients in the advanced stage of sleeping sickness.But the drug requires many painful injections several times a day for several weeks.It also causes bad side effects，some of which can be deadly.

In Uganda，a new study has confirmed earlier research linking the spread of sleeping sickness to infected farm animals.The writers of the study have called for stronger rules requiring cattle to be treated before being sold at market.

If the world were a village of 1 000 people it would include:

·584 Asians　　　　　　　　　　 ·124 Africans　　　

·95 Eastern and Western Europeans　 ·84 Latin Americans

·55 former Soviets　　　　　　　 ·52 North Americans　　　　　　

·6 Australians and New Zealanders

The people of the village would speak:

·165 Mandarin　　　　　　　　　 ·86 English

·83 Hindu/Urdu　　　　　　　　　 ·64 Spanish

·58 Russian　　　　　　　　　　 ·37 Arabic

The above list covers the mother tongues of only half the village．

One-third of the people in the village are children, and only 60 are over the age of 65．Just under half of the married women in the village have access to modern equipment．

This year 28 babies will be born．Ten people will die, three of them for lack of food, one from cancer．Two of the deaths will be of babies born within the year．With the 28 births and ten deaths, the population of the village next year will be

The village has a total yearly budget(預算),public and private, of over $3 million, that is,$3 000 per person if it is distributed(分配) evenly of the total $3 million:

$181 000 goes to weapons and warfare

$159 000 to education

$132 000 to health care

These weapons are under the control of just 100 of the people．The other 900 are watching them with deep anxiety, wondering whether they can learn to get along together．
