Recall that flagella are long whiplike projections from the cell.Some zooflagellates are free living, but many are parasite
1.One species found in Central and South America causes Chagas’ disease, sometimes called American sleeping sickness.Where The reduviid bug During the feeding process, the zooflagellates pass out of the reduviid body through its fecesOnce the zooflagellate enters the body, it multiplies in the bloodstream and can damage the heart,liver,and spleen.
2.The second species causes East African sleeping sickness.3.The third species causes West African sleeping sickness.The insect host is the tsetse fly The zooflagellate reproduces in the gut of the fly and then migrates to its salivary glands.The zooflagellates reproduce in the human host and cause fever, inflammation of the lymph nodes, and damage to the nervous system.
