What vector causes African sleeping sickness?
African sleeping sickness is caused by the Trypanosoma brucei parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected tsetse flies (Glossina species). There are two forms of the disease: Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, which is more prevalent in West and Central Africa, and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, found in East Africa. The tsetse fly acts as a vector, facilitating the transmission of the parasite from animals to humans.

What is the relationship between a reservoir and a vector in the context of disease transmission?
In the context of disease transmission, a reservoir is a place where a pathogen can live and multiply, such as an animal or environment. A vector is an organism that can carry and transmit the pathogen from the reservoir to a host. The relationship between a reservoir and a vector is that the reservoir provides a source of the pathogen, while the vector helps spread the pathogen to new hosts, contributing to the transmission of the disease.
