Dr Al-Harbi explained that everything related to Trypanosomiasis parasite, saying it causes the disease of compulsive corruption that devastates society.
She said sleeping sickness is an infectious disease that is difficult to control and could lead to death if left untreated. The disease is caused by a small parasitic organism, which has a long whip it uses in motion to hide inside the human body to destroy the nervous system and damage its cells.
She continued that trypanosomiasis is spread by the tsetse fly of the genus Luwasin, a very dangerous fly that transmits the parasite from the infected body to the healthy human body through its contaminated saliva. In this parasite, the patient feels severe joint pain, muscle weakness and headaches.

There are many parasitic diseases that are common but each carries a special character and different symptoms
