Abstract: | Summary
T. theileri has been isolated from primary cultures of bovine retina and subcultered successfully for 2 passages in sub-confluent cultures. When cultures reached confluency no trypomastigotes or epimastigotes could be detected and attempts to recover trypanosomes from these cultures were unsuccessful. The presence of intracellular forms could not formally be excluded.We wish to thank Dr S. Dershko, Division of Meat Inspection, Health of Animals Branch, Department of Agriculture (Canada) and Intercontinental Packers, Ltd. for their assistance in obtaining the freshest possible specimens. The skillful technical assistance of Mrs J. Graham is also gratefully acknowledged. This investigation was supported by the M. R. C. of Canada. |
