Of 5360 falcons examined at the Sulman Falcon Hospital in Bahrain between 1987 and 1993, 1675 (31.2 per cent) had lesions of trichomoniasis. These lesions were commonly found in the oral and nasal cavities, the infraorbital sinuses, the crop and oesophagus and, more rarely, in the coelomic cavity, attached to the wall of the abdominal air sacs, and in the trachea, partially obstructing its lumen. Several therapeutic methods and the results obtained are described.

is the causative agent of the venereal disease trichomoniasis which infects men and women globally and is associated with serious outcomes during pregnancy and cancers of the human reproductive tract. Trichomonads parasitize a range of hosts in addition to humans including birds, livestock, and domesticated animals. Recent genetic analysis of trichomonads recovered from columbid birds has provided evidence that these parasite species undergo frequent host-switching, and that a current epoch spillover event from columbids likely gave rise to in humans.

This review study aimed to present a comprehensive analysis of the prevalence of in birds of Iran, along with an exploration of its associated pathological findings. Through an extensive search of published studies, scientific databases, and relevant literature, we identified several studies conducted in Iran that focused on the prevalence of in different bird populations and their pathological effect.

Background: is a protozoan parasite responsible for canker in pigeons, a debilitating disease that causes significant economic losses. While metronidazole (MTZ) remains the primary treatment, the emergence of resistance is a growing concern. This study investigated the efficacy of eugenol and its nanoemulsion formulation against in both and settings.

Article Synopsis
- Trichomonas gallinae is a common protozoan parasite affecting birds and causing avian trichomonosis, with this study focusing on its prevalence and genetic diversity in birds in Tehran, Iran.
- Out of 100 birds examined, 12% were infected: 23.3% of feral pigeons, 7.5% of budgerigars, and 6.66% of finches were found to have the parasite.
- Genetic analysis identified two similar sequences from the ITS2 region and revealed three distinct subtypes through the Fe-hydrogenase gene, suggesting a more complex population structure of T. gallinae and insights into how it adapts to different bird hosts.

Article Synopsis
- * Infection was found in domestic and wild pigeons, as well as red-necked turtledoves, but not in other wild bird species, indicating specific host preferences.
- * Molecular analysis revealed two main genotypes (A and B) associated with wild and domestic pigeons, aiding in the understanding of the parasite's distribution and potential control measures.
