Extract

In an earlier paper (Nuttall, Fantham and Porter, 1909, Parasitology vol II. pp. 325—340), we recorded our observations on living Theileria parva as seen in the peripheral blood of two cows which succumbed to East Coast Fever1. We now propose to describe our studies upon the parasite in stained preparations made from the animals' blood during the course of the disease and from their organs shortly after death. We shall confine our attention to the types of parasites encountered within red blood corpuscles or to corresponding types which may be occasionally encountered free in the plasma. The subject of “Koch's blue bodies” will receive attention at a later date.
