Abstract
The close resemblance between surra of India and tsetse-fly disease of Africa has long been known, while Koch, after having seen the living Trypanosoma Evansi at Muktesar in India, and soon after studied the parallel disease in German East Africa, pronounces them to be the same, and in his 'Reiseberichte’ calls the disease seen in the latter place “Surrakrankheit.” The appearance of the report made to the Tsetse-fly Committee of the Royal Society by Ivanthack, Durham, and Blandford on their experimental investigation of the latter disease, suggested to me to repeat some of their experiments in the case of surra, with a view to contributing towards the solution of the question of the identity or otherwise of the two diseases, and the following is a brief account of the results obtained while I was in charge of the Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory at Muktesar, during the absence of Dr. Lingard on sick leave.
