The tsetse fly is a large blood-sucking insect found in Africa, known for transmitting the parasite that causes sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis) in humans and Nagana in animals. Belonging to the genus Glossina, these flies are typically found in rural areas near water sources. They are characterized by their distinctive wings that lie flat over their bodies when at rest. Control measures against tsetse flies are crucial for public health and livestock management in affected regions.
