Answer:

Trypanosoma brucei

Explanation:

T. brucei is a unicellular eukaryotic parasite that causes sleeping sickness. This organism has an elongated body, central nucleus, only an elongated mitochondria housing the kinetoplast, where the mitochondrial DNA is located; It has a scourge that gives it motility. Its undulating cell membrane, as a result of flagellar movements, is covered with glycoproteins that elicit little immune reaction, allowing this parasite to go unnoticed.

This organism infects the host by evading the host's immune system by altering its surface proteins with each generation.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Nanotechnology has bring up major advances in our everyday life. For example, the use of Nanobots that are extensively used now a days in medicine to make surgeries faster and accurate. By the use of nanotechnology, major problems like cancer can be treated by using cell by cell therapy. It is also utilized in curing genetic defects. Major drug designing and drug delivery has been made easier using nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology doesn't have any visible disadvantages but there always remains a fear like introduction of some extra contaminants and toxins in the environment. But mostly i agree with use of nanotechnology for the betterment. Furthermore we don't have any more advance techniques to fight problems than this technology.
