The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Human African trypanosomiasis is also known as sleeping sickness.
- Humans are infected by two subspecies of T. brucei: T. brucei gambiense is primarily transmitted between humans and causes over 92% of cases, while T. brucei rhodesiense is zoonotic, with animals such as cattle serving as reservoirs.
- During the first stage of the disease, T. brucei parasites replicate in the blood and lymph, causing fever, headache, itchiness, and joint pains about one to three weeks after the bite.
