Abstract
IT is hardly possible within the. short compass of this review to give more than the briefest account of the contents of the very interesting volume referred to below.1 One of the most important subjects from the point of view of the maintenance of stock and transport is animal trypanosomiasis. Thus, in camels in the French Sudan we have the disease known as Mbori; in dromedaries of the Upper Niger, le Tabaga; in Algerian dromedaries, El debab. A camel disease is also noted in this report at El Obeid, Kordofan, and another occurs in the Sinai peninsula close to the Mediterranean. The elucidation of the problem of the specific character of these trypanosomes and the mode of their transmission is not an easy matter. Trypanosome diseases are by no means confined to camels, but we find them also existing in horses, mules, and donkeys. The losses from these diseases appear to be considerable, but at present little can be done in the way of prophylaxis.
