Theiler named them recently anaplasma marginale, as they consist only of chromatin substance, and he proved that after inoculation with blood which contained such bodies, they appeared in the blood of the inoculated animals, sometimes also causing severe febrile affections. According to his most recent experience he considers these parasites as the cause of the so-called gall sickness which is prevalent in Africa (see p. 783).
