Abstract
WITHHOLDING of pantothenic acid from the diet has been shown by Becker, Mansera and Johnson1 to interfere with the production of ablastin, the trypanosome-reproduction inhibiting antibody, formed by rats infected with Trypanosoma lewisi. An investigation of exploratory nature was undertaken to ascertain if pantothenic acid had a similar effect on the course of T. evansi infection in rats.
