Sleeping sickness, commonly known as African trypanosomiasis, is a parasitic disease spread by tsetse flies. Tsetse flies are biting flies that are native to Sub-Saharan Africa.

In the early stages of sleeping sickness, symptoms include fever, headache, joint discomfort, itching, swollen lymph nodes, and exhaustion.
