Sleeping Sickness - an introduction to African Trypanosomiasis
Human African Trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness is a devastating parasitic disease. It is a neglected tropical disease affecting communities in Africa. In this video we take a look at the disease, how it presents and and ways to control it.

Talking about something so deadly serious shouldn’t have a happy upbeat tone in the background. It doesn’t set the tone being presented

Your work has proved to be very useful for me . All my confusion has been cleared about trypanosoma . Thank u so much
From now on.....ur channel has become a part of my following channels...... Such an amazing work....we are thankful to you..❤...
This is the best explanatory video i have ever seen 🥺 thanks a lot It helped understand my lessons even though i study medicine in French not English.. I'm so thankful
I grew up in Nigeria and in third grade saw a little girl with this problem sleep walking out of class when school let out. My dad had arrived to pick me up and this girl was about to walk off the raised sidewalk, about three feet off the ground, when my dad reached out, picked her up, and put her safely on the ground. (I don't remember if she woke up or he woke her up after that.) It's a very strange disease IMO.
excellent explanation ever
Time to subscribe, you nailed it
Very useful and clear explanation sir.. thankyou...pls keep uploading such clips
Thanks, very amazing video
Thank you so much.. Its really helpful
very nice presentation
I have a test on this tomorrow. Freshman biology is more interesting than I thought. My professor was telling me about a friend she had in Zimbabwe who would sleep mid-way through a conversation she was engaged in. She would be laughing and speaking enthusiastically, and she'd go to sleep a moment after that. Thanks for the video!

There is a report available for free online about the impact of the Tsetse Fly on Africa's historical development. I suggest you read it. It is eye opening.
If you have to remember this for a test, try this visual: Bruce is trippan o'r some big single battery (power house of the cell). He still must dunno (DNA) what he trippan o'r but it's som'n. Mr. Sandman had hot plastic surgery and is moving fast (kinetic-plastid). Mr. Sandman said "Hey! You Trippan o'r summin Brucei?" Bruce says, "Yeah man, I keep changing my coat (protein) cause my fly is teesny (tsetse)." Mr. Sandman heard this and laughed so hard he bout had a heart problem (cardiac). He said, "This kid needs (kidneys) to relax, he's having a cow (livestock) and his brain ain't working right. I gotta head to Africa and bless the sister rains (African sleeping sickness)
whats up with the upbeat music?
Plz make vedio about malaria. Thanks for a great lectures thank you so much 😊
Here's how you treat it. Fenugreek seeds, papaya seeds, and culantro leaf. 'A fraction of the essential oil rich in eryngial is the subject of a US patent application for its effectiveness against parasitic trypanosomes, nematodes, fungi and bacteria in humans and other mammals.'
What the different betwern posteriot transmission and anterior transmission??
👍
I find this for my biology lesson...#homeworkpandemic
I don't know why, but parasites freak me out. Malaria is especially scary. I can't imagine a worm in my brain. I love my brain.

It's caused by a protozoan, not a worm
what's the intermediate host of Trypanosoma?+ the difinative host?
my mum and her mum are from South Africa sooooo it’s possible I could have it or they could
The music is obnoxious, otherwise the illustration was sooo gooood. Thank u

It is better of you do not cite the video for an academic paper. The maker of the video included a list of sources that you can use to find more in-depth information.

Lol, I've lived in Africa for 16 years and I don't have it.. it depends on which country or area you visit
I'm confused - are these videos for adults or children? The content is mature, but the video style is juvenile and it comes off as almost condescending. The channel is called "Let's Learn About Bugs!" and has a goofy cartoon character. But you aren't teaching children the basics if germs. You're telling them about very serious parasites. The content is geared towards adults and the information in the videos is college-level. The fact that you are including clinical presentation and diagnostic testing means this is for medical professionals. I think you need to do some reflecting and decide who you want your target audience to be.

Amanda P he just presents his well-researched and composed materials in an easy to swallow way with a lighthearted aesthetic, by no means juvenile. Biology videos don’t have to be lifeless and dreary
