Description:Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Vol. 5: July, 1912 During 1909 three further cases were diagnosed, one at the mission hospital at kota-kota, and the others in that at Blantyre; and in June, 1910, another at the Government hospital in Zomba. At this time (1910) the writer was the only officer detailed for investigation work, and when, in August of that year, two cases were found in the mission hospital at Kasungu, near the Rhodesian border, and a third at the Mvera mission hospital in the Dowa district, he was recalled from North Nyasa to re-establish the segregation camp at Dowa, and to investigate in that district. Shortly after arrival a European of the Dutch mission was seen and was found to be heavily infected with trypanosomiasis. From the history it was evident that the patient had become infected while shoot ing in the neighbourhood. This was the first certain intimation that previous cases had not necessarily been imported. Investigations were immediately commenced, and during September, six cases were found in that part of the Dowa district near the lake. At the same time reports were received of a heavy death-'rate in some villages, due to some disease not known to the natives, but which was suggestive of trypanosomiasis. During the following fifteen months a total of 47 cases have been diagnosed from the same locality, exclusive of those who were regarded with suspicion, but in whom no diagnosis was made before death supervened.
