Résumé

Ten Albino rats were each infected intraperitoneally with 0.5 million Trypanosoma strain 8/18 organisms. Cerebral lesions were absent in all rats and mice injected with brain tissue and choroid plexus homogenates from group A rats were aparasitaemic over anobservation period of 30 days. However, infected rats developed intermittent (parasitaemia, lost weight progressively and became anaemic with death intervening in one case. We conclude that T. bricci strain 8/18 infection in rats produces moderate to severe disease which may lead to death; but the organism is is not pushed across the blood-brainbarrier by berenil treatment in the acute stage.
