The background shows original drawings by Surgeon-Captain David Bruce, of the British Army Medical Service, who identified Trypanosoma brucei as the cause of the 'tsetse fly disease' in African cattle in 1895. The human disease is called Sleeping Sickness: infection leads rapidly to coma and death.
