TL;DR: Results of this study support that fecal samples collected by loop might be better for PCR diagnosis of T. foetus infection and Lack of association of ronidazole with PCR test results and a 21% all‐potential‐causes failure rate of rONidazoles in cats with preconfirmed infection are important limitations to use of this drug.
