Pyrimidine metabolism in Tritrichomonas foetus.
The anaerobic parasitic protozoa Tritrichomonas foetus is found incapable of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis by its failure to incorporate bicarbonate, aspartate, or orotate into pyrimidine nucleotides or nucleic acids. Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase in the cytoplasm provides the major pyrimidine salvage for the parasite. Exogenous uridine and cytidine are mostly converted to uracil by uridin...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin binding by Tritrichomonas foetus.
A better method for diagnosis of bovine trichomoniasis is needed because culture is slow and somewhat lacking in sensitivity. Immunodiagnosis of Tritrichomonas foetus infection usually involves detection of antigen-antibody reactions with an anti-immunoglobulin conjugate. However, nonspecific immunoglobulin (Ig), bound to the surface of T. foetus, would also be detected by an anti-Ig conjugate ...
متن کاملOsmoregulation in the parasitic protozoan Tritrichomonas foetus.
Tritrichomonas foetus was shown to undergo a regulatory volume increase (RVI) when it was subjected to hyperosmotic challenge, but there was no regulatory volume decrease after hypoosmotic challenge, as determined by using both light-scattering methods and measurement of intracellular water space to monitor cell volume. An investigation of T. foetus intracellular amino acids revealed a pool siz...

To my parents, with love and gratitude, for believing in me and teaching me to always reach for my dreams. To my beloved dogs Tris and Lizzy, for faithfully accompanying me throughout the long years of my veterinary education.
متن کاملTritrichomonas foetus damages bovine oocytes in vitro.
Tritrichomonas foetus is an extracellular parasite of the urogenital tract in cattle. It causes infertility and abortion, but there is no documented information on the susceptibility of bovine oocytes to the parasite, except by one article that claimed no effects of T. foetus on oocytes or embryos. The aim of the present study was to study the effects provoked by T. foetus when in interaction w...
