When a rabbit is inoculated with Trypanosoma (Trypanozoon) brucei usually only a few parasites appear in the circulating blood. Nevertheless, 3 to 5 weeks after inoculation the animal becomes listless, the fur staring, and the ears pale, thick and heavy. The tissues around the eyes are swollen, and scabby necrotic lesions appear in the skin of the face, ears and scrotum. The animal dies several weeks after inoculation and the cause of death is unknown.
