Notes:
Seventy-nine adult birds in 8 species were examined at autopsy for the presence of Trypansoma avium. Films of thoracic blood were stained in Giemsa and later searched for trypanosomes. Marrow was removed from femora and humeri, mixed with Ringer's solution, and examined direct for living flagellates. Sixty-four birds (81%) showed positive marrows; 5 (6%) had positive bloods. In the 15 birds with negative marrows, only 2 had trypanosomes in the blood. These data emphasize the advantage of marrow over blood examination in determining the incidence of avian trypanosomiasis and point up the excellence of fresh marrow examination in such studies.
