Abstract: Tritrichomonas foetus is a parasite that has been definitively identified as an agent of trichomonosis, a disease characterized by chronic diarrhea. T. foetus colonizes portions of the feline large intestine, and manifests as chronic and recurrent diarrhea with mucus and fresh blood, which is often unresponsive to common drugs. Diagnosis of a trichomonad infection is made by either the demonstration of the trophozoite on a direct fecal smear, fecal culture and subsequent microscopic examination of the parasite… Show more

“…In contrast, T. foetus infection was identified in kittens, with a few cases of P. hominis infections, but the case of coinfection with two organisms was none. Corresponding with the present results, the previous reports demonstrated that P. hominis and T. foetus infections were dominant for dogs and cats, respectively (Bastos et al, 2019;Grellet et al, 2013;Li et al, 2016aLi et al, , 2019Maritz et al, 2014). In addition, P. hominis was sometimes isolated from cats, but T. foetus infection was determined in cats, and it was markedly rare in dogs (Bastos et al, 2018;Gookin et al, 2007;Li et al, 2016aLi et al, , 2019).…”

“…Authors started the present investigation with a hypothesis that pet shop puppies and kittens showed a high-level prevalence for intestinal trichomonads. Because the higher prevalence of P. hominis and T. foetus was suggested in young dogs and cats, based on the high-density animals in limited space, suspected stressful situation, and their immature immune system (Bastos et al, 2019;Dąbrowska et al, 2020;Grellet et al, 2013;Li et al, 2016a, b;Tysnes et al, 2011;Yao & Köster, 2015). Additionally, the behavior of puppy, particularly the habit of biting and licking objects which has the potential of contamination with trichomonads is also likely a significant contribution factor for transmission.…”

“…Coinfection with other STDs is common; chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are other STDs that cause major health problems, especially in tropical and subtropical developing countries [ 5 ]. Tritrichomonas foetus strains cause trichomonosis, STDs in cattle [ 6 ], and pigs [ 7 ], and diarrhea in cats and dogs [ 8 10 ].…”
