Tsetse flies carry trypanosamiasis (sleeping sickness). This disease is incredibly dangerous and is nearly always fatal.
The tsetse fly is a large biting insect native to Africa, and it is dangerous because it has been identified as a disease vector. The fly bites victims to drink blood, and can infect that victim. A bitten individual may get sleeping sickness. Nagana, a disease affecting cattle, can be passed on to these herd animals. A link can be found below.
No, tsetse flies do not carry anthrax. Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, which primarily affects livestock and can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals or their products. Tsetse flies are known for transmitting trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) but are not associated with the transmission of anthrax.
The tsetse fly is known to transmit a parasitic infection called trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals. This disease can be serious if left untreated, causing symptoms such as fever, headaches, joint pain, and in some cases, neurological problems.
The tsetse fly originally comes from Native Africa.
A Tse Tse fly will live generally from One to Three months.
The tsetse fly carries the agent for trypanosamiasis, also known as sleeping sickness.
Tsetse fly
The tsetse fly transmits the parasite that causes African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness. This disease can affect both humans and animals and can be fatal if not treated promptly. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, headaches, and in later stages, neurological problems and disturbances in sleep patterns.

Human African Trypanosomiasis, Sleeping Sickness, African lethargy or Congo Trypanosomiasis are all names for the same disease of people and animals which is caused by a parasitic protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei, transmitted by the bite of the Tsetse Fly.
It is caused by the bite of the tsetse fly which carries the protozoa in it's saliva that causes the disease.
