African sleeping sickness is caused by the protist Trypanosoma brucei. This parasite has two hosts: the tsetse fly, which serves as the vector for transmission, and humans, where the parasite replicates and causes illness. The disease manifests in two forms, depending on the subspecies of T. brucei, affecting different regions of Africa.
