Whitney went on a mission trip to Africa with her church group. They visited for two weeks and worked with doctors in the area to provide information about tropical diseases and the availability of treatment and vaccines. About a month after returning home, she started having headaches, fever, and severe joint pain. She went to the doctor and was diagnosed with African sleeping sickness. What is the causative agent of this disease

i believe Whitney would have caught it from a person who was infected and visited the clinic.
