Abstract
Transverse sections of the proboscis of G. m. morsitans infected with T. (N.) congolense initiated after a single infective blood meal were studied. Trypanosomes were located in the lateral, dorso-ventral and latero-ventral regions of the food canal. Parasites were also found around the whole of the circumference of the canal. Such localizations influence the transmission of trypanosomes and the epidemiology of trypanosomiasis.Entities:
