Tsetse fly (Glossina sp.), computer illustration. The tsetse is a major vector of sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals. It transmits the diseases by spreading the causative parasitic Trypanosoma sp. protozoa. About 30 different species of tsetse fly live in various habitats in Africa, each feeding on blood by puncturing the skin with specially-adapted mouthparts. | |
