Sleeping sickness is also known as trypanosomiasis or African sleeping sickness. It's caused by a small parasite that leads to a serious infection in the brain and the meninges (the covering of the brain and spinal cord) and death if not treated. It is transmitted by the tsetse fly. They usually reproduce through binary fission (dividing into two). Now there is some evidence that they do reproduce sexually as well.
