The effects of environment on Tritrichomonas augusta (Alexeieff, 1911)

Effects on Tritrichomonas suis when cultured in chick chorio-allantoic fluid

“…medium was reported by Soleymany (1970) While studying T= vaginalis. Johnson (1940) could determine no significant difference between the population size grown at 37 C and 35 C.…”

“…I believe her data could also be correlated to the relative amount of syn thesis being carried on by the rapidly dividing forms of the log phase compared to the more or less non-dividing individuals of the population after peak numbers had been reached. Soleymany (1970) found the parabasal body was longest in T, augusta when it was incubated under anaerobic conditions. These conditions also supported the highest populations in his study.…”

“…medium was reported by Soleymany (1970) Another possible explanation would be a temperature shift of the incubator, but in order for an increase in population to occur at this stage in the cycle, a drop towards an optimal temperature would have to take place. This is unlikely be cause it has already been shown that the 36 C culture resulted in faster growth and the attainment of higher numbers than 30 C.…”
