In rats, rabbits, sheep, and goats experimentally infected with several strains of Trypanosoma brucei, the trypanosomes were observed to localise extravascularly in connective tissues. Focal inflammatory reactions were associated with the localisation of the parasites. Trypanosoma congolense in the same species of animals and T. vivax in sheep and goats, were not observed to localise outside blood vessels. On the basis of these observations it appears that the pathogenesis of the disease caused by T. brucei differs from that caused by T. congolense and T. vivax.
在实验感染了几种布氏锥虫菌株的大鼠、兔子、绵羊和山羊中,观察到锥虫在结缔组织中血管外定位。局部炎症反应与寄生虫的定位有关。在相同动物物种中的刚果锥虫以及绵羊和山羊中的活跃锥虫,未观察到在血管外定位。基于这些观察结果,似乎由布氏锥虫引起的疾病发病机制与由刚果锥虫和活跃锥虫引起的不同。
