UBOMBO AND THE SITE OF BRUCE,DAVID DISCOVERY OF TRYPANOSOMA-BRUCEI

The site and remains believed to be those of the camp where Sir David Bruce and his wife Mary worked between 1894 and 1897, and where Bruce discovered the causative agent of nagana and its transmission by the t setse fly, have recently been discovered at the small village of Ubomb o in northern KwaZulu (Zululand), South Africa. The site where these r emnants were found fits the meagre, albeit significant, information pr esented by Bruce in his writings on the location of the camp.
