| Abstract: | - 1.(i) Trypanosoma congolense multiplied more slowly in mice given a diet composed of casein, sucrose, dried yeast, salts, margarine and cod liver oil than in mice given a normal diet. This broadly confirms the report of Keppie (1953), except that the high degree of suppression reported by her was never observed in the present work.
- 2.(ii) Cod liver oil given in diets adequate in water soluble vitamins suppressed the multiplication of T. congolense and vitamin E reversed this effect.
- 3.(iii) T. vivax was markedly suppressed by a high cod liver diet and the suppression completely reversed by vitamin E.
- 4.(iv) A high cod liver oil diet did not suppress T. cruzi, and it probably did not suppress T. brucei.
