Extract

Blood smears from 378 examples of Glossina morsitans Westw. from the Daga-Iloi fly-round were tested by serological methods, including a new test involving the inhibition of agglutination of tanned red blood cells.

About half the feeds were derived from wart-hog or bushpig, though these apparently formed only some ten per cent, of the ungulate mammals present.
