The mesenteric microvasculature was studied in rats and rabbits infected with Trypanosoma congolense. By examining vessels in the living animals, trypanosomes were observed to adhere to vessel walls by their anterior ends. It was evident from stained preparations of the vessels that the microcirculation contained 4-1400 times as many trypanosomes as were free in the cardiac blood. Parasites were more numerous in very small vessels than in larger vessels, and they were clustered in groups within the small vessels. The localization of T. congolense in the microvasculature is demonstrated and it is shown that this localization is established by attachment of the organism to the vessel wall.
对感染刚果锥虫的大鼠和兔子的肠系膜微血管进行了研究。通过检查活体动物的血管，观察到锥虫通过其前端附着在血管壁上。从血管的染色制剂中可以明显看出，微循环中的锥虫数量是心腔血液中游离锥虫数量的4至1400倍。非常小的血管中的寄生虫比大血管中的更多，并且它们在小血管内成簇聚集。证实了刚果锥虫在微血管中的定位，并且表明这种定位是通过生物体附着在血管壁上而建立的。
