Abstract
Rabbits infected with Trypanosoma gambiense develop complement fixing and precipitating antibody to an antigen present in normal rabbit tissue. This is not a response to a trypanosome antigen which is antigenically similar to a normal tissue antigen. The origin of skin lesions which appear in infected rabbits is discussed. A hypothesis is developed to explain the tissue destruction, metabolic disturbances, and eventual death of rabbits infected with T. gambiense.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
