The pathogen responsible for late blight of potato is Phytophthora infestans, a water mold that causes significant crop losses by infecting potato and tomato plants. In contrast, African sleeping sickness is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected tsetse flies. Both diseases have profound impacts on agriculture and public health, highlighting the importance of effective management and control strategies.
These are two different diseases and they have two different pathogens. African Sleeping Sickness is caused by African Trypanosomaisis. Potato Blight is a fungus called Phytophthora infestans. This infection caused the Great Irish Famine of the late 1800's with many dying and millions leaving Ireland.
