Trichomonas
Sign in to saveTrichomonas is a genus of anaerobic excavate parasites of vertebrates. It was first discovered by Alfred François Donné in 1836 when he found these parasites in the vagina of a patient suffering from vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. Donné named the genus from its morphological characteristics. The prefix tricho- originates from the Ancient Greek word (thrix) meaning hair, describing Trichomonas's flagella. The suffix -monas ( – single unit), describes its similarity to unicellular organisms from the genus Monas.

] Trichomonas adalah genus protista anaerobik yang merupakan parasit pada vertebrata. Mereka termasuk dalam Parabasalids. Spesies Trichomonas mencakup: Trichomonas vaginalis, organisme yang umumnya hidup di dalam saluran urinogenital manusia. Trichomonas gallinae, yang menginfeksi burung, menyebabkan canker pada merpati dan burung dara, dan frounce pada raptor. Lesion seperti-frounce yang ditemukan di fosil rahang dinosaurus tyrannosaurid seperti Tyrannosaurus rex mungkin disebabkan oleh parasit yang mirip dengan Trichomonas gallinae.[1] Trichomonas tenax, organisme yang ditemukan di rongga mulut manusia, kucing, dan anjing Trichomonas termopsidis, ditemukan di usus rayap[2] Restorasi Tyrannosaurus dengan infeksi seperti-Trichomonas.

Trichomonas is a genus of anaerobic excavate parasites of vertebrates. It was first discovered by Alfred François Donné in 1836 when he found these parasites in the vagina of a patient suffering from vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. Donné named the genus from its morphological characteristics. The prefix tricho- originates from the Ancient Greek word (thrix) meaning hair, describing Trichomonas's flagella. The suffix -monas ( – single unit), describes its similarity to unicellular organisms from the genus Monas.
==Habitat and ecology== Trichomonas is typically found in anaerobic environments. It is a known parasite of many different animals including humans, birds, dogs, and cats. In humans, it can be found in the urogenital tract and in the oral cavity. It is estimated that 276 million new cases of urogenital infections occur each year. Depending on the Trichomonas species, it can either be transmitted through direct sexual contact or through contaminated water sources. In birds, it can be found in the upper digestive tract and is transmitted when adult birds regurgitate food to feed their young, when a bird of prey feeds on an infected bird, and through contaminated food or water.
