In cattle infected experimentally with Trypanosoma brucei the trypanosomes localized extravascularly in the connective tissues and produced inflammatory reactions in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, heart, central nervous system, and eye. These observations indicate that, as in other domestic and laboratory animals, T. brucei is a parasite of connective tissues in cattle.
