| Abstract: | A modified medium (ME-99) for the in vitro cultivation of trypanosomes was developed and evaluated in our laboratory. The medium comprised of Eagle MEM as a base and various components of medium 199 not found in MEM. Trypanosoma brucei brucei, T. b. gambiense and T. vivax were grown in ME-99 and various other media combinations such as MEM/RPMI 1640, MEM/BCM, MEM/199, RPMI 1640/BCM, RPMI 1640/199, BCM/199 for comparison. Both growth and infectivity of these parasites were compared in these media. Parasites grew better and maintained their infectivity for longer periods in ME-99 than in any other medium or combination of media. |
