Abstract
The results of this study show that there is a daily cyclical variation in the number of T. rotatorium found in the peripheral blood of R. clamitans. It is suggested that this periodicity is related to the varying light to which the host is exposed, and that there is a daily migration of trypanosomes from the peripheral blood to the kidneys.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
