Abstract:
Procyclic trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, cultured in Cunningham's medium with 20% heat-inactivated foetal calf serum at 27 degrees C, attached to chitosan and to gels of N-acetyl chitosan and glycol chitosan. Following attachment, epimastigotes, metacyclic-like trypomastigotes and multinucleate parasites appeared in the culture supernatant.
