  • Title: Challenge infection as a means of determining the rate of disease resistant Trichomonas gallinae-free birds in a population.
    Author: Kocan RM, Knisley JO.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1970 Jan; 6(1):13-5. PubMed ID: 16509124.
    Abstract:
    Trichomonas gallinae-free pigeons and mourning doves were infected with the Jones' Barn strain of T. gallinae to determine the rate of disease resistant T. gallinae-free birds in each population. Although all birds became infected 88% of the pigeons were resistant to trichomoniasis while 82% of the mourning doves were resistant. It was concluded that these birds had been previously infected and spontaneously lost their trichomonad fauna while retaining their resistance to fatal infection.
