| dc.description.abstract | Veterinarian medicine, particularly parasitology, has a significant role in the
guidance and safeguarding of both humans and animals. For instance, against species such
as the Trichomonas genus; Tritrichomonas foetus and Pentatrichomonas hominis, who are
commonly known for causing chronic large bowel disease (all). Trichomonas species are
flagellated protozoan parasites living on the mucosal surfaces of the reproductive system,
oral cavity, and gastrointestinal tract. Although T. foetus does not exhibit zoonotic
properties, P. hominis poses this risk. Since the first description in the late 1800s the
relevance of these protozoans in catteries has risen throughout the years. Data relating to the
infection rate of these protozoans are significantly lacking in Hungary for both wild and
domesticated cats, therefore the aim of the study is to compensate for this. | en_US |
