Introduction: Bovine trichomoniasis has been endemic in the USA since its discovery in the 1930s. Testing of bulls used for reproduction is currently mandated in 26 states to control spread of the disease. Although individual head prevalence in Wyoming has decreased since 2000 when the state’s regulation started, the herd prevalence remains steady and the disease continues to have a wide geographic distribution. One factor neglected in current regulations is the role of infected cows/heifers in transmission. The latter may harbour Tritrichomonas foetus, the causative organism, up to a few weeks post-abortion/parturition. This capacity enables them to spread the disease in spite of extensive bull testing
