Article Synopsis
- A flagellated protozoan causes avian trichomonosis in birds, and resistant strains to the common treatment highlight the need for new therapies.
- The study tested 36 essential oils (EOs) from Lamiaceae and Asteraceae against the protozoan, finding some Lamiaceae EOs to be particularly effective.
- Key compounds like α and β-thujones and linalyl acetate showed promise in treating the infection with limited cytotoxicity, suggesting Lamiaceae plant products could serve as viable alternative treatments.
