Its current distribution, genetic variability, ecology, and epidemiological pattern in the African continent are only partially known despite the general consensus on the urgency to obtain such information for quantifying the actual disease burden in Africa other than to predict future threats at global scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methodology and principal findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>References were searched in PubMed and Google Scholar electronic databases on January 21, 2020, using selected keywords, without language and date restriction.
