Sleeping sickness is also known as trypanosomiasis or African sleeping sickness. It's caused by a small parasite that leads to a serious infection in the brain and the meninges (the covering of the brain and spinal cord) and death if not treated. It is transmitted by the tsetse fly. They usually reproduce through binary fission (dividing into two). Now there is some evidence that they do reproduce sexually as well.

Trichinosis is a disease caused by the parasite Trichinella spiralis. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and muscle pain. In severe cases, it can lead to complications such as myocarditis or encephalitis.
The life cycle of Trichinella can be interrupted by preventing pigs from eating raw or undercooked meat containing Trichinella larvae. Ensuring proper cooking of pork and wild game meat can effectively kill the larvae, preventing transmission to humans. Additionally, proper hygiene practices when handling and preparing meat can help reduce the risk of transmission.
The infective stage of Trichinella spiralis is the larvae found in undercooked meat, mainly pork. When consumed by humans, these larvae develop into adult worms in the intestines, causing trichinellosis, a disease characterized by symptoms such as muscle pain, fever, and gastrointestinal issues.
the way prokaryotes reproduce
The organisms in the kingdom Fungi reproduce by spores, meaning they reproduce asexually. Some can, however (such as mushrooms) reproduce sexually by adapting to their environment.
Trichinella spiralis
Trichinella spiralis belongs to the kingdom Animalia.
First of all it is spelled trichinella. Trichinella is the genus of parasitic roundworms of the phylum Nematoda that cause trichinosis. Members of this genus are often called trichinella.
The scientific name of trichina worm is Trichinella spiralis.
