The natural hosts of these trypanosomes are many species of wild game which are adapted to the parasites and do not show any symptoms. The trypanosomes occur in the blood stream of infected animals and are carries from animal to animal by bloodsucking biting flies of the genus Glossina.©Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (Original) ©University of Pretoria.
