Abstract: Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus are human and bovine parasites, respectively, that provoke the sexually transmitted disease trichomoniasis. These extracellular parasites adhere to the host epithelial cell surface. Although mucinases and proteases have been described as important proteins for parasite adhesion to epithelial cells, no studies have examined the role of the keratin molecules that cornify the vaginal epithelium. Here, we investigated the interaction of T. vaginalis and T. foetus wit… Show more

“…In Brazil, several studies have been conducted with Tritrichomonas foetus of bovine origin; these studies primarily targeted at the parasite-host interaction, biochemical mechanisms and ultrastructural analysis (Pereira-Neves & Benchimol 2009, Vilela & Benchimol 2011, Midlej et al 2011). However, the study of T. foetus and Pentatrichomonas hominis in small animals is almost non existent were it not for the account given by Da Cunha & Muniz (1922) on P. hominis in cats.…”

“…The result show that there are [2] positive samples of trichomonas Fetus found in preputial fluid of bulls penus, this indicate that bulls have trichomoniases because of the disease represent as sexually transmitted disease. The percentage of morbidity found in our study is 2%, this percentage most not be neglected because of the infection is very dangerous in country in can spread to the cows and cause death of fetuses and abortion.…”

“…Because older bulls have more numerous and deeper crypts and more easily infected, using young. bulls is part of a disease management strategy [2]. There are no obvious signs of Trichomonas fetus infection in the male and early fetal loss is the only sign of disease in the female [3].…”

“…In laboratory mice, Tritrichomonas foetus maintains its shape and flagella and adheres to and injure vaginal and endometrial epithelial cells (Singh et al 2004;Gilbert et al 2000;Midlej et al 2009;Vilela and Benchimol 2011;Pereira-Neves et al 2012). Inhibition of cell division and endometrial inflammation were detected in vitro in oviduct organ culture models (Benchimol et al 2006;Ma et al 2011) .…”
