Abstract
SEPARATION of the bloodstream forms of trypanosomes from the blood of infected animals has so far been difficult, especially in the case of Trypanosoma congolense. Even the most satisfactory method—defibrination of the blood followed by centrifugation on a sucrose gradient1—has the disadvantage of usually being applicable only to small volumes of blood, because of the high gradient volume to blood ratio (at least 6 to 1).
