Extract

In the course of recent work on the pathogenicity of Trypanosoma vivax in bovines, cases have occurred at the Veterinary Laboratory, Entebbe, when it has been difficult to diagnose the species of trypanosome occurring in the blood. This difficulty arose because many of the trypanosomes were too small to be typical T. vivax and the possible occurrence of T. uniforme had to be considered, and also because many abnormal degenerate forms appeared at irregular intervals. A more detailed study of the trypanosomes present in the infection was therefore undertaken and, although in many aspects this work is still incomplete, the course of the infection in goats and sheep has been sufficiently interesting to merit this preliminary report.
