Es gibt einen neuen Einzeller,
der DF verursacht,
gerne mit Giardien einher geht.

Tritrichomonas foetus1, 3, 4, another cause of chronic diarrhea in cats, is currently under investigation. It is a protozoal organism that has been easily mistaken for Giardia when observed under the microscope.1 Unfortunately, this organism has not been responsive to antimicrobial therapy, and cats can take up to three years (average of five months) to recover.3 It has been known to cause a waxing and waning, cow pie form of diarrhea that may have a strong odor to it as well as blood and mucus.2,3 Fecal consistency may improve with antimicrobial therapy, but once medication is stopped the diarrhea usually recurs worse than before since antimicrobial therapy does not eliminate the infection.2, 3, 4
The mode of transmission is from cat to cat through the fecal-oral route,3 so keeping infected cats isolated from other cats is a good idea. Disinfecting with dilute bleach has been shown to kill the organism, however daily disinfecting does not appear to alter the course of the infection in affected cats.3 The good news is, so long as there isn't a co-existing condition (i.e., cryptosporidiosis, FeLV, FIV...), cats infected with Tritrichomonas foetus have been known to spontaneously recover.
