How does trypanosoma brucei differ from bacteria and multi-celled parasites?

Trypanosoma brucei (cause of sleeping sickness) is a protist with a flagella. It is a eukaryote. It is carried by the tsetse fly and humans. Bacteria are prokarocytes and don't have membrane bound organelles. The other parasite mentioned are different and have many cells. For example, tapeworms.

The tsetse fly is an intermediate host in the life cycle of Trypanosoma, a parasitic protozoan that causes diseases like African trypanosomiasis in humans and animals. Trypanosomes develop and multiply in the gut of the tsetse fly before being transmitted to a mammalian host through its bite during a blood meal.

What is bacteria what is the carrier?

a bacterial carrier is usually call this because it carries a significant amount of bacteria. bacteria resides on 99% of everything in this world. something such as a fly, or a rat can at times carry concentrated amounts of harmful bacteria... and sometimes reffered to as bacterial carriers. a person who is sick with some type of bacterial infection could also be considered a bacterial carrier. Although most of the time when someone reffers to something as a bacterial carrier they mean something or someone containing significant amounts of harmful bacteria, it is in my opinion that pretty much anything can carry harmful bacterial at some level; therefore pretty much anything can be a bacterial carrier.
