Overview

African trypanosomiasis is a human tropical parasitic disease usually caused by protozoan hemo-flagellates belonging to the complex Trypanosoma brucei. Two subspecies that are morphologically indistinguishable cause distinct disease patterns in humans. Trypanosoma brucei gambiense causes West African sleeping sickness and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense causes East African sleeping sickness.
