This human case of T. foetus-like infection emphasizes the zoonotic potential of trichomonads, although the existence of a human-host-adapted T. foetus strain cannot be excluded.Journal of clinical microbiology1165-8https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC1393145biostudies-literatureMolecular identification of Tritrichomonas foetus-like organisms as coinfecting agents of human Pneumocystis pneumonia.PMC1393145Capron MPierce RJDelgado-Viscogliosi PDei-Cas ECaby SChabe MTorabi EBarre EBilly CDuboucher CDufernez FViscogliosi EGantois NfalseMolecular identification of Tritrichomonas foetus-like organisms as coinfecting agents of human Pneumocystis pneumonia.Trichomonads closely related to the bovid parasite Tritrichomonas foetus were identified in the bronchoalveolar lavage sample from a patient with AIDS in association with Pneumocystis pneumonia.
