The tsetse fly is harmful primarily because it is a vector for trypanosomiasis, commonly known as sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in animals. This disease is caused by the Trypanosoma parasite, leading to severe health issues, including neurological symptoms and, if untreated, can be fatal. Additionally, the presence of tsetse flies can significantly impact livestock populations, affecting agriculture and food security in affected regions in Africa.
