Mitochondria have been demonstrated in the adult forms of the following species of trypanosomes: Trypanosoma lewisi, Trypanosoma duttoni, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Trypanosoma equiperdum. They have been shown also in the crithidial forms of Trypanosoma cruzi from culture, and of Trypanosoma melophagium from the insect vector, Melophagus ovinus. No essential morphological variations in the mitochondria among the five species of trypanosomes studied, nor in those among the several growth stages, were observed.
