In this study, it is aimed to determine the medium which will produce in vigorous amount of Trypanosoma b. rhodosiense and Trypanasoma cruzi and to establish a new medium. Methods: In this study, Trypanosoma b. rhodosiense and Trypanasoma cruzi strains stored in Manisa Celal Bayar University Parasite Bank will be removed from liquid nitrogen tank under suitable conditions, planted in Medium I, Medium II, Medium III and newly developed medium. Reproductive densities of the media will be statistically analyzed on Thoma lamina depending on the time, using the Sidak’s multiplequality test. Results: As a result of this study, it has been concluded that the best medium, to produce abundantly Trypanosoma b. rhodosiense and Trypanasoma cruzi strains, to be used in diagnosis and active substance screenings, molecular studies, metabolic analyzes and drug studies is the medium IV. Conclusion: This study is one of the first studies related to the production of Trypanosoma species in Turkey and planned to provide a basis for the studies of African sleeping disease, Chagas disease and their agents. © 2020, Galenos Publishing House.
