Abstract
ALTHOUGH the trypanosome Trypanosoma rotatorium Mayer 1843, lives in the blood of frogs (Rana esculenta and R. temporaria) it does not have a pathogenic effect on them. Since no information is available about the mass incidence of these parasites in the blood of homoeothermic animals, we have tried to infect white mice with T. rotatorium in order to study the development of infection in these hosts.
