Trypanosomosis is spread by [[Glossinidae|Tsetse flies]] and other insect vectors.
Trypanosomosis is spread by '''[[Glossinidae|Tsetse flies]]''' and other insect vectors.
[[Tabanidae | Horse flies]] and [[Stomoxys calcitrans | stable flies]] can also act as mechanical vectors for some [[Trypanosoma | ''trypanosoma'']] species, but the parasites can not undergo lifecycle development within these hosts.
