Using archival histological specimens from several species with light microscopic evidence of intestinal trichomoniasis, and under optimized hybridization conditions, the probe positively identified trichomonads in colonic specimens from piglets and a kitten with PCR-confirmed T. foetus infection. Neither positive hybridization of the probe or PCR amplification of T. foetus DNA was observed in histological specimens from hamster (Tritrichomonas muris), turkey, nor mouse (Entamoeba muris) intestinal protozoal infections. Sequence-specific binding of the probe was further verified by successfully out-competing the hybridization with 10 x molar excess unlabeled probe and failure of a labeled sense probe to hybridize. The FISH assay described here enables simultaneous location and molecular identification of T. foetus in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded histological specimens of intestinal trichomoniasis. The methods employed are likely to also be applicable to probes designed for specific recognition of other trichomonad species, especially in mammalian tissue where red blood cell auto-fluorescence can be easily differentiated from the hybridization signal of trichomonads.}, number={1-2}, journal={VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY}, author={Gookin, J.

This prospective, multi-institutional, cross sectional study examines the occurrence of T foetus and other enteric parasites in cattery-housed and shelter cats within Australia, where T foetus has only recently been identified. Faecal specimens were collected from 134 cats, including 82 cattery-housed pedigree cats and 52 shelter cats. Faecal examinations performed for most cats included concentration techniques, Snap Giardia test, culture in InPouch medium, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of T foetus ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes using species-specific primers. Observed occurrence of T foetus, Giardia species, Isospora species and Toxascaris leonina for cattery-housed cats (and catteries) were 0%, 7.4 (13.8)%, 10.9 (22.6)% and 1.6 (3.2)%, respectively. Observed occurrence of T foetus, Giardia species, Isospora species and hookworms for shelter cats were 0%, 11.5%, 9.8% and 4.9%, respectively. These results suggest the prevalence of T foetus in cattery-housed cats is currently much lower in Australia than in the USA, while Isospora and Giardia species infections are common.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF FELINE MEDICINE AND SURGERY}, author={Bissett, Sally A. and Stone, Maria L. and Malik, Richard and Norris, Jacqueline M. and O'Brien, Carolyn and Mansfield, Caroline S. and Nicholls, Julia M. and Griffin, Alison and Gookin, Jody L.}, year={2009}, month={Oct}, pages={803–807} } @article{bissett_gowan_o'brien_stone_gookin_2008, title={Feline diarrhoea associated with Tritrichomonas cf. foetus and Giardia co-infection in an Australian cattery}, volume={86}, ISSN={["1751-0813"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1751-0813.2008.00356.x}, abstractNote={A 10‐week‐old female Ocicat was presented at a primary care feline veterinary practice for failure to thrive and diarrhoea.
