African sleeping sickness, also known as human African trypanosomiasis
(HAT), is usually caused by the parasites trypanosomes. The trypanosomes
are important pathogenic protozoa. Protozoa are unicellular eukaryotic
microorganisms that lack cell walls. Protozoa usually obtain food by
ingesting other organisms or organic particles. In humans, the trypanosomes
live and grow primarily in the bloodstream, but in the later stages of the
disease, invasion of the central nervous system occurs, causing an
inflammation of the brain and spinal cord that is responsible for
neurological symptoms of African sleeping sickness. As you may know, our
body has two kinds of immunity, cell-mediated (T cell-mediated) immunity
and humoral (antibody) immunity, to help us resist infection. The
specificity of the antigen-antibody interaction in humoral immunity or
antigen-T cell interaction in cell-mediated immunity is very critical in
our immune response. Our immune response occurs only AFTER a microorganism
interacts with the immune system. The specific immune effectors, either T
cells or antibodies, then interact with the invader and destroy it. This
capacity for responding to challenge after additional exposure to the same
microorganism is known as "memory". Therefore, the antigen is critical in
the whole immune recognition. However, trypanosomes have the ability to
evade the immune responses by periodically switching their major surface
antigens, variant surface glycoprotein (VSG), a phenomenon called antigenic
variation. Antigenic variation, we believe, is the major mechanism for the
trypanosomes survival in the human body. In some recent studies,
scientists showed that several other mechanisms might also help
trypanosomes survive. The ability to grow in high levels of
interferon-gamma and to avoid complement-mediated destruction may
facilitate the parasite's infection.

The US did not do anything directly as a response to Italy invading Ethiopia. The League of Nations censured Italy, but Italy was too strong and so that was all that was done.
