Front
explain the rephrasing:

Loss of revenue in terms of productivity and medical costs due to human and animal diseases caused by these trypanosomes has an overwhelming effect on socio-economic growth of endemic countries.

Trypanosomal diseases can devastate the economies and social structures of affected countries, depleting productivity of humans and animals and diverting resources from economic growth to health care.
Back the deeper causal subject was used instead of an intermediary one


indicators: 'due to' and 'caused by'

With this new subject, the verbs of the sentence can now vividly describe the effects of these diseases: compare "has an overwhelming effect" in the original sentence to "devastate", "deplete" and "divert."
