... that Robert Michael Forde made the first definitive observation of the causes (Trypanosoma parasites pictured) of sleeping sickness in human beings?
ALT1:... that Robert Michael Forde made the first definitive observation of the cause of sleeping sickness(Trypanosoma parasites pictured) in human beings?
The article needs to cite the specific page(s) of the Baker 1995 article (I assume p. 5 for the sentence corresponding to the hook). The hook probably also needs a small rewrite, because it's currently ambiguous and might imply that Forde discovered that they were the causes of sleeping sickness, which seems to be incorrect according to the sources. I would suggest something like, "... that Robert Michael Forde made the first observation of Trypanosoma parasites (pictured), the causes of sleeping sickness, in human beings?" Otherwise this seems good: Created (and expanded) within 7 days of nomination and article is long enough and adequately sourced. I corrected some small issues with style. The image is PD and good quality. No issues on Earwig. —Nizolan(talk) 00:18, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

@Nizolan: Will you be able to finish the review? SL93 (talk) 22:14, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: I was about to approve this hook, but the part that seems to discuss the hook fact (the one which mentions Kelly) lacks the necessary footnote (which instead is found in the subsequent sentence). Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 00:11, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, fixed. You know there is no objection to just fixing such things yourself if you wish. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:28, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
