Trypanosoma brucei is not classified in the clade Opisthokonta because it is a protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Trypanosoma, which falls under the clade Excavata, not Opisthokonta. Opisthokonta includes fungi (like Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and animals (like Felis catus, Homo sapiens, and Canis lupus).
