A group of Proechimys rats (family Echimyidae, subfamily Echimyinae( was experimentally infected with Trypanosoma evansi. The long-term chronic infection induced, and the nature of the tissue lesions encountered, point towards their possible use as laboratory models for the study of T. evansi infections. Comparisons were made with albino rats in which the flagellate produced a short-term infection following inoculation.
一组粗刺豚鼠（棘鼠科，棘鼠亚科）被实验性感染伊氏锥虫。所引发的长期慢性感染以及所遇到的组织损伤性质表明，它们有可能被用作研究伊氏锥虫感染的实验室模型。将其与白化大鼠进行了比较，在白化大鼠中，接种该鞭毛虫后会产生短期感染。
