Abstract Trichomonads are widely distributed protozoa; however, studies on these organisms in captive sugar gliders and tortoises kept as companion animals remain limited. This study investigated trichomonads in four captive companion animals presenting with diarrhea—two sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps), one red-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis carbonaria), and one Horsfield’s tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii)—using conventional PCR and 18S rRNA gene metabarcoding.
