::nucleus, kintoplast, undulating membrane, flagellum

===Life cycle===
*''T. brucei'' group don't infect human cells
*''T. cruzi'' needs to infect human cells to multiply

==Vector==
*tsetse fly
**genus ''Glossina''
**adult 6-15 mm long

==Epidemiology==
*>70% of cases in recent 10 years are reported from DRC
*10-100 new cases in a year in Angola, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo Republic, Gabon, Guinea, Malawi and South Sudan

==African trypanosomiasis==
*sleeping sickness

===''Trypanosoma brucei brucei''===
*Trypanosomiasis of stock and wild animals
**"Nagana"
*no human infection

===pathogenesis===
#trypanosomal chancre after tsetse fly bite
#acute hemolymphatic stage
##fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly
#chronic meningoencephalitic stage
##headache, alteration of mental status, coma
*more acute by ''T. brucei rhodesiense'', slower by ''T. brucei gambiense''

===diagnosis===
*serology
**card agglutination test for trypanosomiasis (CATT)
**mass population screening
**low sensitivity/specificity
*molecular
**PCR, LAMP
*microscopy
**chancre fluid, blood, lymph node aspirate, CSF
***centrifugation and examination of buffy coat
**wet praparation for motile trypanosoma
**Giemsa stain (with fixed)
====define the clinical stage of ''rhodesiense''====
*lumbar puncture
**CSF WBC > 5 cell/mm<sup>3</sup> stage 2

===treatment===
*should commence in earlier stage
**difficult to treat in CNS involvement
*acute stage
**suramin > pentamidine
**suramin side effects
***90% urticaria
***50% adrenal cortical damage
***peripheral neuropathy - axonal or demyelinating
***renal dysfunction
*chronic stage
**melarsoprol (Mel B)
***only for ''T. b. rhodesiense''
**eflornithine (DL-a-difluoromethilornithine; DFMO)
***only for ''T. b. gambiense''
**nifurtimox-eflornithine; NECT
***only for ''T. b. gambiense''
*both stage
**fexinidazole
***only for ''T. b. gambiense''
***should be administered within 30 min. after solid meal
