Tse-tse fly causes the sleeping sickness and skin diseases by transmitting:
Correct answer: B. Trypanosoma
- A. Plasmodium
- B. Trypanosoma
- C. Anopheles
- D. Insects
Explanation
Explanation:Tse-tse fly causes the sleeping sickness and skin diseases by transmitting Trypanosoma. Plasmodium is the protozoan parasite that causes malaria, a mosquito-borne disease. It is not transmitted by the tse-tse fly. Anopheles is a genus of mosquito that is known to transmit the Plasmodium parasite that causes malaria. It is not directly involved in the transmission of sleeping sickness. This option is also incorrect because insects can transmit a wide range of diseases, but not sleeping sickness.
