Abstract
A technique for observing the phenomena associated with the first stages of infection of cells by flagellates of Leishmania donovani is described In our experience flagellates enter only monocytes and there is a mutual attraction They enter body first and once inside the cell move freely flagellum first Many flagellates may be killed death being signalized by formation of a droplet at the tip of the flagellum and vacuole formation and digestion There may be a relationship between susceptibility of animal species and the frequency of vacuole formation
