Routine1
Based on this finding, we recommend p16 immunocytochemistry as a diagnostic tool for unexpected patients or specimen types in which potential trichomonads are identified following routine cytologic evaluation. (cytojournal.com)
Trailing flagella1
Contrary to other genera of Trichomonad that present an undulating membreane associated to the trailing flagella], Monocercomonas does not have an undulating membrane attached to the trailing flagella, although there is a pelta at the anterior end of the organism, close to the periflagellar canal, attaching it partially to the body.

Intestinal1
Despite its name, Dientamoeba fragilis is not an ameba but an intestinal flagellate, most closely related to trichomonads. (cdc.gov)
Species1
Trichomonads are amitochondriate, flagellated protists, some species of which are endemic to the oral cavity. (antibioticsfordogs.com)
