Te parazit la te lye nan refize resan yo nan vèrdye ak pension popilasyon nan UK a, men se sitou yon parazit nan columbiformes (egzanp Bunbury et al. 2008). Te Recent montre travay ou fè T. gallinae yo dwe prezan nan gwo prévalence nan Turtle Colomb sou teren elvaj UK (~ 100%), ak detekte nan tout espès nan UK columbiformes (Lennon et al nan preparasyon pou).

Trichomonas gallinae is a protozoan parasite that infects the upper respiratory tract of birds, causing morbidity and mortality, although it is not always fatal. The parasite has been linked to recent declines in Greenfinch and Chaffinch populations in the UK but is primarily a parasite of columbiformes (e.g. Bunbury et al. 2008). Recent work has shown T. gallinae to be present at high prevalence in Turtle Doves on UK breeding grounds (~100%), and detected in all species of UK columbiformes (Lennon et al in prep).
