African sleeping sickness is primarily caused by the Trypanosoma brucei parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected tsetse flies. There are two main forms of the disease: Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, which is prevalent in West and Central Africa, and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, found in East Africa. The disease can lead to severe neurological symptoms if not treated promptly.
