The susceptibility of strains of mice to infection with Trypanosoma congolense.

The survival times of a number of strains of mice after infection with a stabilate of Trypanosoma brucei or of T congolense were examined. The mean survival times of all the strains when infected with T brucei TREU 667 ranged from 27 to 63 days. Greater disparity was observed after infection with T congolense GVR1 where the mean survival time ranged from seven (BALB/c) to 74 days (C57 Bl). It is suggested that the C57 Bl mouse might provide a laboratory model for the study of trypanotolerance in cattle.

Type II ostertagiasis in adult cattle.

During the spring of 1975 outbreaks of ostertagiasis affecting adult cattle were recorded from several beef herds. Two of these outbreaks, one involving an autumn calving herd and the other spring calving, were investigated in detail. The clinical, biochemical, haematological, parasitological and pathological findings are described and were similar to those characteristic of type II ostertagiasis in immature cattle.
