Abstract
Section titled āAbstractā<p><strong>ABSTRACT: </strong>A study was carried out in order to compare the detection of <em>Trichomonas gallinae</em> by examination of smears of throat swab and culture of protozoa collected from both pigeon and chicken. In the present study, five culture media viz. Modified Diamond’s Media, Nutrient broth, Medium 199, Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) and Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 (RPMI-1640) were used for culture of <em>T. gallinae</em>. Microscopic examination of wet mount/ Giemsa stained smear and culture of the <em>T. gallinae</em> revealed the latter method to be superior to wet mount preparation or staining methods.</p>
