Vedclass · Answer

(D) The housefly $(Musca 	ext{ domestica})$ acts as a mechanical vector for several pathogens, including those causing $Leprosy$, $Dysentery$, and $Typhoid$. However, $Sleeping 	ext{ sickness}$ (African trypanosomiasis) is caused by the protozoan $Trypanosoma 	ext{ brucei}$ and is transmitted by the $Tse-tse 	ext{ fly}$ $(Glossina 	ext{ species})$, not the housefly. Therefore, the correct option is $D$.
