Abstract
Ten blood samples randomly collected from cows on a farm nearby Antwerp, Be lgium, were inoculated into KIVI culture medium (Kit for In Vitro Isolation of trypanosomes) and RPMI 10% + feeder medium. Within 3 weeks of incubatio n all KIVI cultures and four RPMI 10% + feeder revealed presence of Trypano soma theileri. Same practical implications regarding the use of KIVI for is olation of pathogenic African trypanosomes from cattle and other Bovidae ar e discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
