What is a parasitic relationship of the savanna?

A parasitic relationship in the savanna is the interaction between the tsetse fly and mammals such as cattle, antelope, and humans. The tsetse fly is a blood-feeding insect that transmits the parasites that cause African sleeping sickness and nagana, a disease that affects cattle. When the tsetse fly bites an infected animal, it ingests the parasites, which then develop and multiply within the fly. When the fly bites another animal, it transmits the parasites, which can cause illness or even death. The tsetse fly is thus a parasite, as it benefits from its relationship with the host animal while harming the host.
