Idaho makes Trichomoniasis a reportable/regulatory disease

Clinical features of Trichomonas fetus infection in the cow

Abstract

Idaho has added trichomoniasis to its reportable and regulatory diseases. Since the early eighties trichomoniasis has been diagnosed with increasing frequency in Idaho, particularly in areas that practice common grazing. The producers that have suffered economic loss due to trichomoniasis and have started control programs, have often failed due to reinfection from infected, but undiagnosed herds in the area. The Idaho Cattle Association mandated that trichomoniasis be reported and regulated. The following regulation became effective on October 6, 1989.
