 Figure 2. Showing the transmission of the disease
T. gallinae is found in a motile trophozoite and
nonmotile pseudocyst stage. It is generally found in
the oral-nasal cavity or anterior end of the digestive
and respiratory tracts. The trichomonads multiply
rapidly by simple division (binary fission), but do not
form a resistant cyst. They therefore die quickly when
passed out of the host.
