Four fallow deer, Cervus dama, became infected with Trypanosoma (megatrypanum) sp. by oral application of triturated guts from tabanids collected in an area with deer but without any cattle; four control calves remained negative. Upon challenge with triturated guts from tabanids from an area with pastured cattle, the four calves became infected with Trypanosoma (M.) theileri. The prepatent period in deer was five days or less. Haematopota spp. and Tabanus spp. were identified as vectors of the deer trypanosomes. It is concluded that the trypanosomes of C. dama belong to a Megatrypanum species that is not identical with T. theileri.
4只黇鹿（Cervus dama）通过口服在有鹿但无牛的地区采集的虻类磨碎的肠道而感染了锥虫（巨型锥虫）属某种锥虫；4只对照小牛仍为阴性。在用来自有放牧牛的地区的虻类磨碎的肠道进行攻毒后，这4只小牛感染了泰勒锥虫（M.）。鹿的潜伏期为5天或更短。血蝇属和虻属被确定为鹿锥虫的传播媒介。得出的结论是，黇鹿的锥虫属于一个与泰勒锥虫不同的巨型锥虫物种。
