Explanation
Trypanosoma is polymorphic. Polymorphism refers to the existence of different forms or morphological variations within a species.

For example, Trypanosoma brucei, the species responsible for causing African trypanosomiasis, displays different morphological forms in its mammalian host and the tsetse fly vector.
