Trichomonas gallinae is a cosmopolitan parasite of birds including finches, pigeons, doves, turkeys, chickens, parrots, and raptors (hawks, golden eagle, etc.). The condition in birds of prey is called frounce . [ 1 ]
Trichomonas vaginalis, being the species that causes the most complications in humans, is the only fully sequenced Trichomonas species. Through whole-genome shotgun sequencing, the Trichomonas vaginalis genome is estimated to be around 160 Mb long, divided into six chromosomes. However, at least 65% of its genome was found to be redundant.
The prognosis for cattle is not good. Infected bulls are advised to be culled; cows should also be culled due to easy reinfection even after clearing the initial infection. Trichomoniasis is a reportable disease in cattle, and as of now, there is no effect treatment. Prevention and smart farm practices are the only remedy.
Trichomonas foetus is a parasite that resides in the urogenital tract of cattle and causes bovine trichomoniasis. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease that causes infertility in heifers. Most infertility is caused by sudden embryonic death. [9] Various imidazoles have been used to treat infected bulls, but none are safe and effective.
Trichomoniasis (trich) is an infectious disease caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. [2] About 70% of affected people do not have symptoms when infected. [ 2 ] When symptoms occur, they typically begin 5 to 28 days after exposure. [ 1 ]
Trichomonas vaginalis from a vaginal swab. This is a heavy infection; there were probably thousands of trichomonads in the vagina. Alfred Francois Donné (1801–1878) was the first to describe a procedure to diagnose trichomoniasis through "the microscopic observation of motile protozoa in vaginal or cervical secretions" in 1836.
Trichomoniasis, found in cattle and cats, is caused by both T. fetus and T. blagburni. In cats, it infects the digestive tract, causing chronic disease and large bowel diarrhea. Infected cattle show signs of pyometra and mid- to late-term abortions. [4]
Trichomonas; Trichomonadidae is a family of anaerobic protozoa. Many of its members are parasitic, causing disease in humans or domestic animals. [2] References
