Trypanosoma brucei

1,000,000 times actual size!

Facts: Of all the terrifying creatures in Africa, few are as frightening as the little tsetse fly. (Tsetse means "fly" in Setswana - so a tsetse fly is a fly . . . fly.) To begin with, the bite of this bumblebee-sized insect really hurts! But far more ominously, tsetse carry the dreaded Trypanosoma brucei parasite responsible for sleeping sickness.

This plush measures approximately 8" long, including the 'tail'. It is made of lavender plush. It comes with a short description of the disease.

For children ages 3 and up.
