AB - THE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN THE DIET AND IN- TESTINAL CONDITIONS OF RATS UPON INFEC- TIONS WITH TRICHOMONAS HOMINIS AND PENTATRICHOMONAS ARDIN DELTEILL* BY HERBER T L. RATCLIPFE. (Received for publication July 30, 1929.) Hegner (1924) has suggested that a "carnivorous diet" is un- favorable for the intestinal protozoa of mammals. More recent experiments (1929a) have indicated, however, that this assumption does not hold in every case. Trichomonas muris and Trichomonas parva may, under certain conditions, occur together in the intestine of rats, but these flagellates are affected very differently when the rats are fed certain high protein diets. It is quite possible, therefore, that similar cases would be found, if experiments were extended to other animals harboring trichomonad flagellates. However, very few of these animals are adapted to experiments of this sort, and it seems that the problem must be approached through cross-infection experiments with rats as the experimental animals. In this way the reaction of various species of intestinal flagellates to conditions in which different types of intestinal bacteria are predominant may be determined, and possibly, the relations of the protozoa to the diet and intestinal bacteria of their hosts predicted.
