Abstract
This is such an extraordinary looking parasite that the Commission thinks it deserves a short preliminary note, a name, and to be figured. The name is taken from Virgil’s description of the Cyclops, informe, ingens . It was first discovered in the blood of a reed-buck on February 13, 1909, at Namukekera, Uganda (lat. 0° 40´ N.; long. 32° 15´ E.), the estate of the Uganda Company, Limited; then in a bush-buck, and lastly in an ox. The wild animals and the cattle feed in the same pastures, so that it is not remarkable that the oxen should become infected.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
