The common name is African Trypanosomaisis. It is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei.
African sleeping sickness is caused by a protozoan parasite called Trypanosoma brucei, not a bacteria or a virus.
Diseases like malaria and human sleeping sickness are caused by protozoan parasites. Malaria is primarily caused by Plasmodium species, which are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Human sleeping sickness, or African trypanosomiasis, is caused by Trypanosoma brucei, which is transmitted by tsetse flies. Both diseases highlight the significant role of vector organisms in the transmission of these protozoan pathogens.
Sleeping Sickness is transmitted by the Tse-tse fly.
Trypanosomiasis is commonly known as African Sleeping Sickness, but the term trypanosomiasis is also applied to Chagas Disease. Both diseases are caused by a protozoan of the family Trypanosoma.

Two examples of Spirozoa are Euglena and Trypanosoma. Euglena is a single-celled organism known for its flagella and ability to photosynthesize, while Trypanosoma is a parasitic protozoan responsible for diseases such as African sleeping sickness. Both organisms exhibit unique adaptations that allow them to thrive in their respective environments.
