Six goats were experimentally infected with a stock of Trypanosoma vivax. Parasitaemia was weekly monitored by buffy coat and wet blood film examination during a period of 15 weeks and another 3 weeks following drug-treatment. Dried blood samples were tested by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using an extraction method with Chelex(R) 100 (BioRad). PCR proved consistently more sensitive than the parasitological techniques. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
