Vector--parasite relationships: the effect of Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense on Glossina pallidipes.
An electron microscope study was made on the infection by Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense of the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes. Infected flies showed many clear abnormalities in their gut cells and peritrophic membrane. These features are described and illustrated.
