Comparative Evaluation of Direct Smear and Culture Methods for Detection of Trichomonas gallinae Infection in Pigeon and Chicken of Assam

Abstract: A study was carried out in order to compare the detection of Trichomonas gallinae by examination of smears of throat swab and culture of protozoa collected from both pigeon and chicken. In the present study, five culture media viz. Modified Diamond’s Media, Nutrient broth, Medium 199, Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) and Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 (RPMI-1640) were used for culture of T. gallinae. Microscopic examination of wet mount/ Giemsa stained smear and culture of the T. gallinae revealed the latt… Show more

“…The rock-pigeon Columba is an old-world bird that is thought to be the sole source of T. gallinae (Lawson, 2010). Trichomoniasis is a potentially fatal disease that has been observed in numerous parts of the world and affects many birds, including hawks, owls, doves, pigeons, and other wild birds (Saikia, et al, 2023).…”

“…In vitro cultivation of T. gallinae was considered as the gold standard for detection of trichomonads due to easy interpretation even in poorly infected birds (Stabler, 1954) [3] . The comparative evaluation of direct smear (Giemsa stain) and culture methods for detection of Trichomonas gallinae infection in pigeon and chicken of Assam was carried out by Saikia et al (2022) [4] where it was concluded that culture of T. gallinae has been proved to be superior to wet mount preparation or staining methods in detection of the flagellate. Cell culture was adopted to differentiate between different strains of T. gallinae pathogenicity and it proved to be a sensitive tool (Honigberg et al, 1964) [5] T. gallinae could be cultured in a variety of media including liquid, semi liquid types and semi-solid CPLM-agar medium.…”
