Mean dimensions and standard errors (S.E.) of morphological features of Trypanosoma teixeirae sp.n. isolated from a little red flying fox’s blood.

Featurea	No. of organisms measured	Observed range (μm)	Mean ± S.E. (μm)
Total length	8	20.4–30.8	25.9 ± 1.2
Width	8	1.3–2.3	1.9 ± 0.1
PK	7	1.5–2.4	2 ± 0.15
KN	9	3.3–6.2	4.9 ± 0.3
NA	9	5.1–9.8	7.8 ± 0.5
FF	8	10.0–12.9	11.3 ± 0.4

^aTotal length: total body length measured along mid-line including free-flagellum.

Width: maximum width measured at nucleus level (undulating membrane included).

PK: distance between the posterior end and the kinetoplast.

KN: distance between the kinetoplast and posterior edge of the nucleus.

NA: distance between the anterior edge of the nucleus and the anterior end of the body.

FF: length of the free flagellum.
