Trypanosoma brucei is a single-celled parasite that causes sleeping sickness in humans. Scientific negatives have been studying trypanosomes for some time because of their effects on human and animal health, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, since these organisms evolved on a separate path from animals and plants over a billion years ago, researchers are studying trypanosomes to find out what traits they may have that are common or different. from those of other eukaryotes ( organisms with a nucleus and mitochondria). This image shows the cell membrane of T.
