A cross-sectional study examined the occurrence of Tritrichomonas foetus, and other intestinal parasites, in feral and shelter cats in Prince Edward Island (PEI). Fecal samples were collected from 100 feral cats, 100 cats from the PEI Humane Society, and 5 cats from a private residence. The occurrence of T. foetus, based on fecal culture, was 0% in feral and shelter cats. A single positive sample was obtained from an owned Abyssinian cat that was imported to PEI. Intestinal parasites were identified via fecal flotation in 76% of feral cats and 39% of cats from the humane society. Feral cats had a higher incidence of Toxocara cati than cats from the humane society (P < 0.001), conversely, shelter cats had a higher incidence of Cystoisospora spp. (P < 0.001). These results suggest that while T. foetus is not of importance in feral and shelter cats in PEI, imported cats could serve as reservoirs.
一项横断面研究调查了爱德华王子岛（PEI）野生猫和收容所猫体内胎儿三毛滴虫及其他肠道寄生虫的感染情况。从100只野生猫、100只来自PEI人道协会的猫以及5只来自私人住所的猫身上采集了粪便样本。基于粪便培养，野生猫和收容所猫体内胎儿三毛滴虫的感染率为0%。从一只被带到PEI的阿比西尼亚家猫身上获得了一份阳性样本。通过粪便漂浮法在76%的野生猫和39%的人道协会猫中鉴定出肠道寄生虫。野生猫感染猫弓首蛔虫的发生率高于人道协会的猫（P < 0.001），相反，收容所猫感染等孢球虫属的发生率更高（P < 0.001）。这些结果表明，虽然胎儿三毛滴虫在PEI的野生猫和收容所猫中并不重要，但进口猫可能是其宿主。
