ABSTRACT
An unusual morphological type of Trypanosoma (Herpetosoma) lewisi (Kent, 1880) which was detected in Rattus norvegicus in India is reported in the present study. This type is different from known types of T. lewisi in that the kinetoplast is at a greater distance from the posterior end (P-K) than the usual type. The total length, including the free flagellum, is 35.3-39.3 microns and P-K is 11.9-15.0 as against total length of 21 to 36.5 microns in the normal form.
