Conteúdo: 	A group of normocyclic heifers experimentally infected with Trypanosoma congolense (strain 2295) became anostrous within 50 days of infection. This followed a dramatic loss of body condition which characterised the onset of parasitaemia, pyrexia and anaemia. Grossly, the ovaries of the infected heifers were atrophic and weighed significantly less than those of the controls (P<0.05). Histopathological sectionss revealed multiple follicular cystic degeneration and a complete absence of corpora lutea. In the uterus, there was massive endometrial mononuclear cell infiltration, glandular atrophy, periglandular cell infiltration, myometrial atrophy and fibroplasia. There was cellular infiltration into the cervix which had non-secretory desquamated mucosa. The vaginal lesions were characterised by mononuclear cell infiltration and necrosis. The severity of the lesions was directly related to the duration of infection.
