Trypanosoma:
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas Disease, a type of trypanosomiasis in humans. It is carried by the Chagas bug, or "kissing bug". Symptoms can begin up to 40 years after infection! Infection results in an inflammatory response, followed by cellular damage. Multi-organ damage can occur, including damage to the heart, brain, kidneys, spleen, liver, and others. In the acute phase, swelling, fever, fatigue and diarrhea may occur. The chronic phase moves into digestive problems, constipation, abdominal pain, and even heart failure.
In the USA, there have been documented infections in the southwestern United States. Domestic and wild animals have served as reservoirs.
Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness. It is carried by the tsetse fly in Sub-Saharan Africa. There are 3 subspecies: T. b. brucei, T. b. gambiense, and T. b. rhodensiense.
