SYNOPSIS.Trypanosoma numidae Wenyon, 1909 from the peripheral blood of Numida mitrata (guinea fowl) and Gallus domesticus (domestic chicken) underwent change and multiplication in the ornithophilic simuliids, Simulium adersi and a species of the Simulium impukane group, and in the mammalophilic species, Simulium vorax and Simulium nyasalandicum. Trypanosomes appeared in the peripheral blood of guinea fowl and chickens following the experimental transfer of flagellates from these flies.
