What is the importance of zoonotic trichomonads for human health? 2014-06-18 .txt text/plain 6133 304 36 Four species of trichomonad are considered human parasites: Trichomonas vaginalis (found in the urogenital tract) [6] , Trichomonas tenax (localized to the oral cavity) [7] , and Pentatrichomonas hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis (located in the digestive tract) [8, 9] . In addition, several trichomonad species are of veterinary importance, such as the avian pathogens Trichomonas gallinae, Tetratrichomonas gallinarum, and Histomonas meleagridis [16] [17] [18] [19] , and Tritrichomonas foetus, the causative agent of a venereal disease in cattle [20] . Thus, the presence of an increasing number of distinct trichomonads in a broader range of clinical samples from patients with diverse diseases, such as AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, prostate cancer, pulmonary infections (empyema and pneumonia in addition to PcP and ARDS), and digestive conditions such as diarrhea and IBS [33] [34] [35] , is becoming increasingly apparent. ./cache/cord-261466-b9r4cyp7.txt ./txt/cord-261466-b9r4cyp7.txt
