Antelope as a reservoir for Trypanosoma gambiense

In considering the problem of the prolonged infectivity ofGlossina palpalis along the shore of Lake Victoria Nyanza, the subject must be approached from three points of view:— Firstly. Some idea of the percentage of infected wild flies must be obtained from time to time, in order to gauge the efficacy of the reservoir. Secondly. The wild animals frequenting the lake shore must be examined forT. gambiense. Thirdly. The effect ofT. gambiense on these animals should be studied in the laboratory.
