Phagocytosis of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense by peritoneal macrophages takes place by seizure of the trypomastigote by either end but usually by the anterior. A lamellar sheath similar to that seen in phagocytosis of the promastigote of Leishmania is observed, but it is smaller and does not proceed to envelop the living parasite. The attached trypomastigote becomes pitted and appears to have been killed and partially destroyed before it is completely engulfed.
腹膜巨噬细胞对罗德西亚布氏锥虫的吞噬作用通过吞噬体以任意一端（但通常以前端）捕获锥鞭毛体来进行。观察到一种类似于在利什曼原虫前鞭毛体吞噬过程中所见的板层鞘，但它较小，不会继续包裹活的寄生虫。附着的锥鞭毛体出现凹痕，在被完全吞噬之前似乎已被杀死并部分破坏。
