Extensive diversity and even new species have been described within the avian oropharyngeal trichomonad complex in recent years. In this study we developed clonal cultures from four isolates selected by their different ITS1/5.8S/ITS2 (ITS) genotype and their association with gross lesions of avian trichomonosis. Isolates were obtained from an adult racing pigeon (Columba livia) with clinical signs of avian trichomonosis, a juvenile wood pigeon (Columba palumbus) and an European turtle dove (Streptopelia turtur) without clinical signs, and a nestling of Eurasian eagle owl (Bubo bubo) with gross lesions. Multi-locus sequence typing analysis of the ITS, small subunit of ribosomal rRNA (SSUrRNA) and Fe-hydrogenase (Fe-hyd) genes together with a morphological study by optical and scanning electron microscopy was performed.
