Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
1. The structure, method of division and cultural requirements of a trichomonad from the gut of Vipera ammodytes L. have been studied; the organism was found, in these respects, to be identical with Trichomonas batrachorum Perty, 1852.
2. Tadpoles of Bufo vulgaris have been infected experimentally with the strain.
3. It is concluded that the trichomonad was a strain of Trichomonas batrachorum established in a reptilian host.
