3. Sleeping sickness- caused by Trypanosoma brucei.
4. Kala azar- caused by Leishmania donovani.

Disease caused by Worms:

1. Tapeworm- They are intestinal parasites. It cannot live live on its own. It survives within the intestine of an animal including human.
2. Filariasis- It is caused by threadlike filarial nematode worms. Most cases of filaria are caused by the parasite known as Wuchereria bancrofti.
3. Pinworm- It is caused by small, thin, white roundworm called Enterobius vermicularis.

Tomorrow, I will write an article on Diseases caused by deficiency of nutrients.
