Fwd: Cat Health News from the Winn Feline Foundation

well, it's off-topic, but this list is one of the first where trich and
tri-trich was first discussed.

if this doesn't fit the category of, "about the last thing i wanted to
hear," i'm not sure what does..... (the persian connection, as well as the
no-diarrheac symptoms.)

Tritrichomonas Infection in the Uterus of a

*Dahlgren, S. S., B. Gjerde, et al. (2007). "First record of natural
Tritrichomonas foetus infection of the feline uterus." J Small Anim Pract
48(11): 654-7.*

*Tritrichomonas foetus* is an emerging intestinal parasite of cats, causing
chronic large bowel diarrhea. In cattle, this protozoan parasite is a
sexually transmitted pathogen, infecting the uterus of cows and the
preputial cavity and urethral orifice of bulls. In this case report, the
first feline record of *T. foetus* infection of the uterus is described in a
17-month old Exotic Shorthair queen in Norway with pyometra. This queen had
no history of diarrhea. Three other cats in the cattery were diagnosed with
*T. foetus* infection using PCR on fecal samples: a 4.5-year old Persian
male with intermittent diarrhea, a 22-month old male Exotic Shorthair with
normal feces, and a 2.5-year old female Persian with normal feces.
Interestingly, *T. foetus* has never been identified in cattle in Norway,
although it is a reportable disease.
