In bovine tritrichomonosis cultivation became an important diagnostic tool, because parasite numbers in bovine samples-e.g., preputial smegma or cervico-vaginal mucus-are usually too low to be detected by direct microscopy and a multiplication of parasites after a few days of cultivation increases the chance to find infected bulls.
