Item The Pathology of African Trypanosomiasis.(1970) GOODWIN, L. G.; Nutfield Institute Comparative Medicine, the zoological society of London Regents Park LondonI must, at the beginning of this paper, acknowledge the immensely valuable support given to work on all aspects of trypanosomiasis by the British Ministry of Overseas Development. From colonial times, the authorities have recognized the threat of this dangerous disease to man and his domestic animals, and also the fact that its study involves the disciplines of human medicine, veterinary medicine, mammalogy and entomology in equal measures. The Ministry has continued to initiate and to support research projects in Britain and overseas and it holds seminars at which progress is assessed. One of its latest achievements has been to sponsor a book, The African Trypanosomiases edited by Colonel H. W. MULLIGAN and Mr. W. H. POTTS (1970), into which the accumulated field and laboratory experience of British workers in all aspects of trypanosomasis has been distilled. It is on the brink of publication and contains so much wisdom that it is certain to become an 'instant' classic. It would therefore seem somewhat pretentious for me to present a paper, at this particular time, on any aspect of the disease. But trypanosomiasis has not been considered by a full Meeting of this Society for several years, and I hope that this evening's discussion may serve as an aperitif to whet your appetites for what is to come.Item Some of the Protozoological Problems of African Human Trypanosomiasis(1956) Willet, K.C.; Trypanosomiasis Research Institute SalisburyIt is clearly impossible in the short span of fifteen minutes to cover more than a very small part of the large subject of the protozoology of trypanosome infections and I have therefore so chosen my title as to impose three important limitations: the first that my remarks are restricted to the pathogenic trypanosomes of Africa: the second that I am concerned only with those related to human sleeping sickness, and the third that I make no claim to consider more than a few of the problems which seem to me, personally, to be of importance.
