Early events following challenge of cattle with tsetse infected with Trypanosoma congolense: development of the local skin reaction

Glossina morsitans morsitans infected with cloned isolates of Trypanosoma congolense and fed on cattle elicited local skin reaction, morphological and histopathological development of this chancre, detection of parasites in skin preceded by several days parasitaemia and other clinical signs, conclud...

Summary:Glossina morsitans morsitans infected with cloned isolates of Trypanosoma congolense and fed on cattle elicited local skin reaction, morphological and histopathological development of this chancre, detection of parasites in skin preceded by several days parasitaemia and other clinical signs, concluded that skin acted as focus not only for establishment of infection but also as site for proliferation of parasite before dissemination into bloodstream
