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 ...

Vestibular schwannoma is considered as the one of the most common primary brain tumor in middle age group especially in females, however incidence is extremely uncommon. Although surgical management of giant vestibular schwannoma (GVS) in non-pregnant state is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, in the recent years more and more surgeons prefer surgical management with relati...

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...

The instrument which is used to measure instantaneous foetal heart rate (FHR) and labour activity is known as cardiotocograph. The normal oscillation FHR shows healthy foetus and absence of FHR oscillation is sign of foetal distress. Various methods are used for cardiotocographic, such as invasive and non-invasive. The recording of electrical activity of heart is done by electrocardiograph(ECG)...

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...

Foetus in foetu, a descriptive term attributed to Meckel (circa 1800), should be applied only to those rare cases where a parasitic twin is found included within the abdomen of its partner. Lord (1954; 1956) reported two definite cases and reviewed other possible cases. In contrast, the variety of teratoma which occurs in the retroperitoneal space is much less defined. Since the description of ...

Tritrichomonas foetus is a single-celled, flagellated protozoal parasite that colonizes the feline colon and distal ileum. Infected cats may be asymptomatic or may have clinical signs that include malodorous large bowel diarrhea. T. foetus infection is common in, but not limited to, high-density populations of young, purebred cats. Testing for this parasite is still not routine at most veterina...

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...

Campilobacteriose genital bovina (CGB) e Tricomonose (TB) são doenças infectocontagiosas de transmissão venérea, assintomáticas nos touros, sendo consideradas como importantes enfermidades causadoras falha reprodutiva, morte embrionária ou abortamento, ocasionando perdas econômicas significativas em rebanhos bovinos infectados. CGB é causada pela bactéria Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis f...
