“…The methods of these studies vary, with some utilizing a retrospective approach and others testing a proportion of the state's bull population. Prevalence data from those studies is as follows: Idaho 11.25% (1996), Oklahoma 7.8% (1979), Colorado 7.5% (1964), Arizona 7.5% (1964), New Mexico 7.5% (1964), Utah 6.75% (1958,1964), Florida 6.65% (1979,1989,1999,2004), Nevada 6.1% (1964,1989), California 4.1% (1990), Wyoming 3.8% (1964, 2011), Texas 3.7% (2012), Alabama 0.27% (2008), Missouri 0.2% (1995), Nebraska 0.127% (1994), and Tennessee < 0.01% (2017) (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). The majority of these studies are significantly outdated and due to differences in methodology direct comparisons between states cannot be made in all cases.…”

Tritrichomonas foetus is a sexually-transmitted protozoan parasite that causes early embryonic death in cattle. Tritrichomonas foetus is enzootic in the United States but is not a reportable disease at the national level. Thus, it is difficult to understand the prevalence and relative distribution of the disease for the purpose of developing appropriate control measures. In this study, a survey of state veterinarians was used to determine the number of reported cases in each state from 2015 to 2019. Our investigation revealed infections in 25 different states and a total of 3,817 reported cases nationwide. Infections occurred throughout different regions of the country, and numbers of cases were only weakly correlated with total number of cattle in each state. Tritrichomonas foetus is a significant pathogen in the United States and understanding the relative distribution of the parasite is useful for prioritizing surveillance and intervention strategies going forward.

Tritrichomonas foetus is a venereal disease of cattle that has a clear pattern of adverse reproductive sequela in the affected female, with a carrier state in the bull in which he shows no outward signs. Given sexual rest and symptomatic treatment, the female returns to reproductive viability. In contrast, the male remains infective and is a risk to other female contacts. Prevention of the disease relies on excluding infected males and females from the population of susceptible cattle. Control of this disease requires a plan to identify, isolate, and treat infected females, and eliminate or cull infected males. Improvements in culture technique and the application of newer methods, such as polymerase chain reaction, enhance the likelihood of detecting infected animals.
