Human Body

A vector-borne parasitic disease, "sleeping sickness" is fatal without treatment. Transmitted through the bite of an infected tsetse fly, the parasite multiplies in subcutaneous tissue, blood, and lymph and then passes across the blood-brain barrier to infect the central nervous system. Symptoms include confusion, poor coordination, sleep, and sensory disturbances.
