Draft Genome Sequence of Tritrichomonas foetus Strain K

Genome Announc. 2017 Apr 20;5(16):e00195-17. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00195-17.

Abstract

The protist Tritrichomonas foetus (Excavata, Parabasalia) is a parasite that causes bovine and feline trichomonosis. Bovine trichomonosis is a venereal disease that leads to abortion and reproductive problems in herds. Feline trichomonosis affects domestic cats. Here, we report the genome sequence of the T. foetus K strain, isolated in Brazil.
