ABSTRACT
A large pleomorphic trypanosome [identified as Trypanosoma mega] was described from the toad Bufo viridis collected from Siwah Oasis at the Western Desert of Egypt. The prevalence of the trypanosome was 83.3%. Three trypanosome forms were described [small, intermediate and large stumpy form]. Observations were also made on the lysed [diffused] trypanosomes. This was the first record of T. mega from B. viridis in Egypt, which represents a new host and new geographical location. The measurements of the present trypanosome were given and compared with related forms previously described from Egypt
