V. Notes on the life-history of <i>Trypanosoma gambiense</i> , with a brief reference to the cycles of <i>Trypanosoma nanum</i> and <i>Trypanosoma pecorum</i> in <i>Glossina palpalis</i>

Abstract

Abstract Among the mammalian trypanosomes carried by Glossina palpalis, T. gambiense may be taken as an example affording, as it were, a basis for the study of the group. In many ways the conditions are very clear, and no very serious difficulties on the score of technique or scarcity of parasites are met with at any point in the Glossina cycle. In this paper I have considered the cycle of T. gambiense in detail, and have treated T.pecorum and T. nanum comparatively and much more briefly. I am indebted to Dr. H. L. Duke for the material of T. pecorum and T. nanum dealt with.
