Vedclass · Answer

(D) African sleeping sickness, also known as Human African Trypanosomiasis, is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus $Trypanosoma$.Specifically, there are two subspecies that cause this disease in humans: $Trypanosoma 	ext{ } brucei 	ext{ } gambiense$ and $Trypanosoma 	ext{ } brucei 	ext{ } rhodesiense$.Since both $T. 	ext{ } rhodesiense$ and $T. 	ext{ } gambiense$ are causative agents, and in many standard biology contexts, $T. 	ext{ } gambiense$ is the most frequently cited answer for the chronic form, but both are correct. Given the options, $T. 	ext{ } gambiense$ is the classic textbook answer for the primary causal organism.
