TRYPANOSOMIA. TRYPANOSOMIA Trypanodoma is a protozoa causing sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis). Sleeping sickness is transmitted to humans by the bite of a contaminated tsetse fly which excretes the protozoa in its saliva. Clinical manifestations of sleeping sickness are fever, behavioral disorders, and apathy. Antiparasite agents are given for treatment but prevention (elimination of tsetse flies) and screening programs are also very important.
