The tsetse fly carries the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, which causes African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness in humans. This disease is often fatal if left untreated and affects the central nervous system.
They are also called tik-tik flies.
No flies are mammals.
Tsetse flies.. Very dangerous!!
The tsetse fly is a large biting insect native to Africa, and it is dangerous because it has been identified as a disease vector. The fly bites victims to drink blood, and can infect that victim. A bitten individual may get sleeping sickness. Nagana, a disease affecting cattle, can be passed on to these herd animals. A link can be found below.
