Female mice were inoculated per vaginam with Tritrichomonas foetus and a sample of the study population was killed every 3 days up to 60 days post-infection. Microscopical changes in the reproductive organs were assessed and immunohistochemistry was used to detect T.

Their specificity for the antigen was tested by using homologous and heterologous E. coli strains, which had been grown under permissive and nonpermissive conditions for pili expression and also confronted to a purified extract of each fimbrial adhesin.
