anonymous · Answer

Trypanosoma brucei needs two hosts to live and reproduce. Its life cycle starts, when an infected tsetse fly bites human skin. While it is feeding on blood, metacyclic trypomastigotes are transmitted to the skin from the salivary glands of the fly. The parasites get into the bloodstream by entering lymphatic or blood vessels. They travel in different body fluids (such as blood, lymphatic or spinal fluid), transform into bloodstream trypomastigotes and multiply by binary fission.
