Abstract
Trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals, is a disease caused by parasitic organisms called Trypanosoma. The disease is transmitted by tsetse flies and affects both humans and livestock, leading to significant health and economic challenges, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper takes a closer look at the biology of Trypanosoma, how the disease is spread, its symptoms, and how it is diagnosed and treated. It also discusses current control strategies and highlights the difficulties in eradicating the disease. Ultimately, the paper calls for continued research, better diagnostics, and new treatment options to tackle trypanosomiasis more effectively.
