Comparative studies were carried out on serums from rabbits inoculated with several Trypanosoma strains and 50 serums from sleeping sickness cases. The techniques used were antigen-antibody reaction in gel according to Ouchterlony, and electrosynerese for which directions are outlined. Electrosynerese has been shown to be a much faster and more sensitive method of detecting precipitating antibodies in trypanosomiasis.
