T. foetus infects and colonizes cat\u2019s ileum, caecum, colon and can lead to enteritis. This paper presents the first clinical case of cat intestinal trichomonosis caused by T. foetus in Poland. The material for this study was a smear collected from a 6-month-old male British Shorthair cat. The presence of parasitic protozoan was determined via microscopic examination and confirmed by amplification of T. foetus rDNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. In the first PCR reaction, a DNA of Trichomonadidae was identified and in the second PCR, T. foetus was detected. The T. foetus positive products from the second PCR reaction were sequenced. Interpretation of the sequencing results of obtained amplicons by comparing them with the GenBank database proved that the causative agent, in this case, was T. foetus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ap-2015-0084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,25]],"date-time":"2015-09-25T08:59:12Z","timestamp":1443171552000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Tritrichomonas foetus infection in cat \u2013 first detection in Poland"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Joanna","family":"D\u0105browska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jacek","family":"Karamon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Kochanowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roman","family":"J\u0119dryczko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Cencek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","reference":[{"key":"ref141","first-page":"48","article-title":"Pravalenz von Tritrichomonas foetus in Kotproben von Katzen mit Durchfall aus Deutschland","author":"Klein","year":"2010","journal-title":"Kleintiermedizin"},{"key":"ref221","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"112","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-013-3381-8","article-title":"A new species of Tritrichomonas Sarcomastigophora : Trichomonida ) from the domestic cat ( Felis catus )","author":"Walden","year":"2013","journal-title":"Parasitology Research"},{"key":"ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2007.02.006","article-title":"Da Ultrastructural changes in Tritrichomonas foetus after treatments with PcS and photodynamic therapy","author":"Silva","year":"2007","journal-title":"Veterinary Parasitology"},{"key":"ref101","first-page":"9","article-title":"Prevalence of Tritrichomonas foetus infection in cats with diarrhoea in the UK","author":"Gunn","year":"2007","journal-title":"Journal Feline Medicine Surgery"},{"key":"ref91","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.71.1.76","article-title":"Assessement of reproductive tract disease in cats at risk for Tritrichomonas foetus infection AVMA","author":"Gray","year":"2010","journal-title":"American Journal of Veterinary Research"},{"key":"ref201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2008.10.091","article-title":"Tritrichomonas foetus infections in surveyed pet cats","volume":"13","author":"Stockdale","year":"2009","journal-title":"Veterinary Parasitology"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"275","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1574-6968.2007.00897.x","article-title":"Effects of three benzimidazoles on growth , general morphology and ultrastructure of Tritrichomonas foetus","author":"Carvalho","year":"2007","journal-title":"FEMS Microbiology Letters"},{"key":"ref01","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-0813.2008.00356.x","article-title":"Feline diarrhoea associated with Tritrichomonas cf foetus and Giardia co -
