Abstract

Since 1932 numerous and widely distributed papers on Trichomonas foetus and bovine trichomoniasis have appeared in the various scientific journals which demonstrate the importance of the disease and organism throughout the world. Prior to this period, most scientists and practitioners of veterinary medicine were of the opinion that practically all reproductive difficulties of an infectious nature occuring in cattle were caused by Brucella abortus. It is now established that Trichomonas foetus is an important organism in causing abortions and infertility in cattle.
