Extract

For many years it has been known that the domestic fowl, together with some other species of birds, is susceptible to experimental infection by trypanosomes of the brucei group. The successful experiments were performed in European laboratories with strains whose virulence had been greatly exalted as the result of long maintenance in small laboratory animals. Infection was induced by inoculation of infected blood into the comb, the peritoneum or a vein. A natural infection of birds with these trypanosomes has, as far as I know, never yet been reported.
