Abstract

Although 2 experiments showed that non-infected bulls can passively transmit Tritrichomonas foestus from infected to non-infected cows during mating, the rates of transmission were low. The results of the second experiment, in which time intervals between services were recorded, suggested that T. foetus was most likely to become established in previously non-infected cows when the interval was less than 20 minutes. Application of 2 X 10(6) active cells of T. foetus to the vulva failed to cause genital infection in 10 cows.
