An efficient medium for the isolation of Trichomonas foetus.
نویسنده
چکیده
Trials were conducted to compare a modification of a commercial medium with the 2 media currently used at the Veterinary Research Institute, Onderstepoort, for the isolation of Trichomonas foetus. An antifungal agent was also added to the medium. Results obtained proved the modified medium to be more reliable for the isolation of T. foetus than the other 2, and the addition of antifungal more efficient in the control of contaminants.

متن کاملProduction of ammonia by Tritrichomonas foetus and Trichomonas vaginalis.
Production of ammonia is difficult to find among the various studies of amino acid metabolism in protozoa. Several studies suggest that catabolism of arginine to ammonium is important for the growth of trichomonads. Trichomonads are amitochondriate zooflagellates that thrive under microaerophilic and anaerobic conditions. The authors were able to detect accumulation of ammonium ions and ammonia...
متن کاملMetabolomic profiling and stable isotope labelling of Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus reveal major differences in amino acid metabolism including the production of 2-hydroxyisocaproic acid, cystathionine and S-methylcysteine
Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus are pathogens that parasitise, respectively, human and bovine urogenital tracts causing disease. Using LC-MS, reference metabolomic profiles were obtained for both species and stable isotope labelling with D-[U-13C6] glucose was used to analyse central carbon metabolism. This facilitated a comparison of the metabolic pathways of T. vaginalis and T...
متن کاملIL-10 release by bovine epithelial cells cultured with Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus
Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus are parasitic protists of the human and bovine urogenital tracts, respectively. Several studies have described the cytotoxic effects of trichomonads on urogenital tract epithelial cells. However, little is known about the host cell response against trichomonads. The aim of this study was to determine whether T. foetus and T. vaginalis stimulated t...
متن کاملGenetic differentiation and biochemical polymorphism among trichomonads.
Isoenzyme electrophoresis was used to study levels of genetic differentiation among strains and clones of Trichomonas gallinae, Trichomonas vaginalis, Tritrichomonas foetus, Tetratrichomonas gallinarum, and Pentatrichomonas hominis. Strain variation was found within T. gallinae, T. vaginalis, and T. foetus, however, levels of enzyme polymorphism were greater in T. gallinae than in T. vaginalis ...
