Nine Trichomonas-free band-tailed pigeons (Columba fasciata fasciata) trapped in Colorado died from experimental infection with Jones' Barn Trichomonas gallinae 7.1 days (av.) post-inoculation. Three experimentally infected domestic pigeons (C. livia) used as controls died 5.7 days (av.) post-inoculation. Three band-tailed pigeons from Colorado naturally infected with avirulent T. gallinae. Trichomonads obtained from a fatal case of trichomoniasis in a band-tailed pigeon from California killed a band-tailed pigeon from Colorado; they did not kill five domestic pigeons but did induce severe oral caseation.
在科罗拉多捕获的9只无滴虫的斑尾鸽（Columba fasciata fasciata）在接种后7.1天（平均）死于感染琼斯谷鸽毛滴虫。用作对照的3只经实验感染的家鸽（C. livia）在接种后5.7天（平均）死亡。3只来自科罗拉多的斑尾鸽自然感染了无毒力的鸽毛滴虫。从加利福尼亚一只死于毛滴虫病的斑尾鸽致命病例中获得的滴虫杀死了一只来自科罗拉多的斑尾鸽；它们没有杀死5只家鸽，但确实引起了严重的口腔干酪样坏死。
