Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) remains a persistent public health threat in sub-Saharan Africa, with transmission dynamics tightly coupled to the ecology and physiology of its tsetse fly vector. Despite growing evidence that temperature strongly modulates vector survival, development, and biting behavior, most existing transmission models assume static environmental conditions. We develop a model for HAT that incorporates temperature-dependent vector recruitment, mortality, and biting rates...
