OCLC Number: 831913517 Language Note: English Notes: text/html Abstract: Glossina austeni can be readily infected with the polymorphic trypanosome, T. brucei (Lugala I) using guinea pigs as donor and recipient hosts and lop-eared rabbits as maintenance hosts. The age of the fly at the time of the infective meal is the most important factor in successful laboratory infections. Day old flies had a midgut infection rate of 27% while less than 1% of the older flies became infected. 3% of day old flies developed salivary gland infections. A complete cyclical transmission of T. brucei was demonstrated. Sufficient replicates of the infection procedures have been performed to indicate that this system should be a useful model for the study of African trypanosomiasis. (Author)
