“…prevalence in geese flocks is varied. Among the samples taken from the free-ranged geese in China, 0.7% were positive for Tetratrichomonas, a low number compared to our research on the prevalence of tetratrichomonas infection in the parental geese flocks in Poland (88%) [2,9]. Poland is the leader of geese production in the European Union, and China is the world biggest geese producer, but comparing the results would be hard because of some differences, including flagellata infections treatment.…”

“…The obtained in this investigation isolate belongs to group A, but is not identical with the isolates from subgroup A1 (isolate from swan) and A2 (isolate from turkey), and could be classified as another subgroup A. The phylogenetic tree based on the concatenated data set including the 18S rRNA and ITS1-5.8S rRNA-ITS2 fragments, according to Cepicka [8] and Chen [9], is given on Figure 3. The obtained in this investigation isolate belongs to group A, but is not identical with the isolates from subgroup A1 (isolate from swan) and A2 (isolate from turkey), and could be classified as another subgroup A.…”

“…The received sequences were compared and, due to homology in the nucleotides, they have been deposited in the GenBank database, for the 18SrRNA fragment under the accession number ON413916.1 and for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) fragment under number ON417741.1. The phylogenetic tree based on the concatenated data set including the 18S rRNA and ITS1-5.8S rRNA-ITS2 fragments, according to Cepicka [8] and Chen [9], is given on Figure 3. The obtained in this investigation isolate belongs to group A, but is not identical with the isolates from subgroup A1 (isolate from swan) and A2 (isolate from turkey), and could be classified as another subgroup A.…”

“…The obtained sequences were examined by BLAST searches. For the subgroup division of T. gallinarum, the concatenated data set, including the 18SrRNA and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences, was created manually [8,9]. The phylogenetic tree was prepared using the neighbor-joining method (1000 bootstrap) in MEGA X, and the lineage in the genus Tetratrichomonas described by Cepicka et al [8] is listed on the right.…”

Infections caused by tetratrichomonas are commonly observed in geese. Most cases are subclinical, and the clinical form of the disease manifests itself with a greater mortality and the presence of caseous content in ceca. We describe the case of tetratrichomoniasis in a geese flock caused by Tetratrichomonas gallinarum, with the genetic analysis of the isolate being based on the fragments of 18SrRNA and ITS1-5.8rRNA-ITS2.

“…Despite being asymptomatic, these conditions are characterized by signs of a decrease in the reproductive capacity and periodic manifestations of diarrhea symptoms (Mehlhorn, 2016). Protozoan diseases significantly threaten the health of chickens (Chen et al, 2022;Tuska-Szalay et al, 2022;Saikia et al, 2023). They are widely distributed worldwide among different species of agricultural and wild bird species (Badparva et al, 2020).…”

The study of macro-morphological changes is important for recognizing disturbances in egg formation that cause pathologies, especially co-infection. The current study aimed to evaluate the level of egg productivity and macro-morphological parameters of eggs in domestic chickens of the Rhode Island breed with co-infection of Histomonas, Trichomonas, and Eimeria. Clinical and parasitological, coproscopic, morphometric research, and statistical analysis methods were used for this research. Pathogens of Histomonas and Trichomonas were detected by microscopy of smears of fresh feces, and Eimeria oocysts were identified by flotation according to the Fullenborn method. During 30 days of research, there was a significant decrease in egg production (52%), a decrease in egg weight by 16.8%, and a decrease in the shell thickness by 30.43% during spontaneous Eimeria-Histomonosis-Trichomonosis co-infection in laying hens. The eggshell indicated noticeable macro-morphological changes, including deformations and defects resulting from insufficient calcification. These changes manifest as combined damage to the shell, characterized by small cracks, roughness, bumpy or spilled thickenings, and complete or partial depigmentation. When evaluating the internal content of eggs in 12% of their samples, there were bloody spots, relatively smaller and lighter yolks, thinning of the protein part. Thus, the specified macro-morphological changes and egg defects were the result of the negative impact of co-infection on the processes of egg formation, which indicates the systemic nature of the lesion and the morphofunctional insufficiency of the egg-forming organs.
