A trichomonad was found in the faeces of a heifer with watery diarrhoea. It was classified as Tetratrichomonas buttreyi according to its morphology as revealed by scanning electron microscopy. This flagellate was successfully maintained in a cysteine-peptone-liver medium. It is, to our knowledge, the first report of Tetratrichomonas buttreyi in Spain. This trichomonad appears to be a nonpathogenic commensal which often proliferates in fluid faeces.
在一头患有水样腹泻的小母牛粪便中发现了一种毛滴虫。根据扫描电子显微镜显示的形态,它被归类为布氏四毛滴虫。这种鞭毛虫在半胱氨酸-蛋白胨-肝脏培养基中成功存活。据我们所知,这是西班牙首次报道布氏四毛滴虫。这种毛滴虫似乎是一种非致病性共生菌,常在稀粪中大量繁殖。
