This study reports the light and electron microscopic examination of Trypanosoma (Herpetosoma) lewisi (Kent, 1880) Laveran and Mesnil, 1901, isolated from rats (Rattus norvegicus) from Poland. Bloodstream trypomastigotes were identified morphometrically from 100 specimens collected from three naturally infected rats Rattus norvegicus. Body length ranged from 15.45-23.64 microm and width from 1.3-2.32 microm while the free flagellum was 8.1 microm long. Electron microscopic study of bloodstream trypomastigotes exhibited typical ultrastructural features similar to those of other stercorarian trypanosomes. The presently determined morphological data have been compared with those provided by other authors.
本研究报告了从波兰褐家鼠（Rattus norvegicus）分离出的杜氏利什曼原虫（Herpetosoma）lewisi（肯特，1880年）拉韦朗和梅斯尼尔，1901年的光镜和电镜检查结果。从三只自然感染的褐家鼠中收集了100个标本，通过形态测量法鉴定了血流型锥鞭毛虫。体长范围为15.45 - 23.64微米，宽度为1.3 - 2.32微米，游离鞭毛长8.1微米。对血流型锥鞭毛虫的电镜研究显示出与其他粪源性锥虫相似的典型超微结构特征。目前确定的形态学数据已与其他作者提供的数据进行了比较。
