Solution

The correct option is C Tse-tse fly
Trypanosomiasis is a term which describes various diseases which affect men and cattle. While Trypanosoma gambiense is the milder form, Trypanosoma rhodesiense is one which afflicts more. This deadly parasitic infection is commonly called as sleeping sickness, is transmitted in man by the bite of the infected Tsetse fly of genus Glossina and family Glossinidae that inhabits the mid continental Africa between Sahara and Kalahari deserts.
