Abstract
Since the discovery of the parasite Kala Azar by Lt.-Col. Leishman, R.A.M.C., a number of investigators have endeavoured to reproduce the disease in the lower animals but without success. The recent discovery of Nicolle that dogs are susceptible to an allied human parasite (Herpetomonas infantum) has added a fresh stimulus to work along these lines, and in order to see whether the dog can be infected with H. donovani I carried out some inovulation experiments, which I propose recording in this paper.
