Abstract

The site and remains believed to be those of the camp where Sir David Bruce and his wife Mary worked between 1894 and 1897, and where Bruce discovered the causative agent of nagana and its transmission by the tsetse fly, have recently been discovered at the small village of Ubombo in northern KwaZulu (Zululand), South Africa. The site where these remnants were found fits the meagre, albeit significant, information presented by Bruce in his writings on the location of the camp.

摘要

据信，该遗址及遗迹就是1894年至1897年间大卫·布鲁斯爵士及其妻子玛丽工作的营地所在地，布鲁斯正是在那里发现了那加那病的病原体及其由采采蝇传播的途径，该遗址最近在南非夸祖鲁（祖鲁兰）北部的乌邦博小村庄被发现。发现这些遗迹的地点与布鲁斯在其关于营地位置的著作中提供的虽不详尽但很重要的信息相符。
