Summary

On examination of a house mouse (Mus musculus) trapped in Rifa village (Assiut Governorate), a Trypanosoma cruzi-like trypanosome was encountered which differed from the cruzi-like trypanosomes of local bats. It appeared to be a hitherto unknown species for which the name Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) assiutis sp.nov. is suggested.
