Is parasite transmitted by tsetse fly(phlebtumous)
Which causes trypanosomiasies or sleeping sickness
The parasite found in peripheral circulation but then reach the central nervous system

Route of infection mother-to-baby (congenital),
contaminated blood products (transfusions),
an organ transplanted from an infected donor,
laboratory accident,
contaminated food or drink (rare)

Diagnosis
by finding the parasite in body fluid or tissue by
microscopy
![Page 11: Trypanosomes · Route of infection mother-to-baby (congenital), contaminated blood products (transfusions), an organ transplanted from an infected donor, laboratory accident, contaminated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051804/5feec3d648d86e316d325ab2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Treatment It depend on the type infection and the disease stage
Pentamidine, is the recommended drug for
first stage
other drugs (suramin, melarsoprol, eflornithine, and nifurtimox)
