Sleeping sickness, also known as African trypanosomiasis, is caused by a protist. Specifically, it is caused by the Trypanosoma brucei parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tsetse fly. There are two forms of the disease, depending on the subspecies of the parasite. The condition can lead to severe neurological symptoms if not treated promptly.
