Trehalose dimycolate (TDM) treated and untreated mice were infected with Trypanosoma musculi. Compared to untreated mice, treated mice exhibited a five fold reduced number of circulating parasites. Untreated infected mice had a splenomegaly but only a slight increase of spleen weight of treated mice was observed. The role of trehalose dimycolate on T. musculi infection, especially via the macrophage is discussed.
