background: the aim of this study was to identify the trichomonas vaginalis strains/haplotypes based on identifying their probable variations in asymptomatic patients referred to tabriz health centers, northwestern iran. methods: sampling was taken from 50-suspected women to t. vaginalis in northwestern iran. the obtained samples were smeared and cultured. fifty dna samples were extracted, ampl...

background: the aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of trichomoniasis among women aged 18 to 48 yr in ardabil, northwestern iran and the relationship between demographic factors and the risk of infection. methods: vaginal discharge samples of 914 women aged 18 to 48 yr, referred to gynecology clinic of sabalan hospital of ardabil, iran in 2014, were collected and trichomonas vagin...

Dermanyssosis is a common ectoparasitic disease of birds. Some characteristics metabolic disorders were identified in Hy-Line laying hens with such disease. The caused by Dermanyssus gallinae, poultry red mite, was detected during complex parasitological survey one two industrial buildings inspected. A high degree mite infestation found the building where experimental group kept. This condition...

Traps made by rectangular pieces of 3 mm thick corrugated cardboard of four different sizes, 200 by 140 (A), 140 by 100 (B), 100 by 70 (C), and 200 by 40 mm (D), were evaluated as a sampling device for the chicken mite, Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer). Mites were trapped during 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 d, respectively, in a poultry house heavily infested with the parasite. Significantly greater number...

Trichomonas vaginalis infections are usually asymptomatic or can result in nonspecific clinical symptoms, which makes laboratory-based detection of this protozoan parasite essential for diagnosis and treatment. We report the development of a battery of highly sensitive and specific PCR assays for detection of T. vaginalis in urine, a noninvasive specimen, and development of a protocol for diffe...

The treatment of trichomonal infestations of the genito-urinary tracts of both men and women has been greatly improved since the introduction of metronidazole in 1959. Cure rates in women of over 80 per cent, have been reported by several observers (Rodin, King, Nicol, and Barrow, 1960; Nicol, Barrow, and Redmond, 1960; Watt and Jennison, 1962). Even higher cure rates have been claimed in cases...

Seventy-three men with urogenital trichomonal infection were treated with a single daily dose of 1 g tinidazole or 1.5 g metronidazole. Both treatments gave satisfactory results. Wives who were also infected with Trichomonas vaginalis, were less likely to have a recurrence of the infection after their husbands had been given either drug.

A rapid and specific dot-enzyme immunoassay (DIBA) using monoclonal antibody was introduced for detection of Trichomonas vaginalis antigen in vaginal and urethral materials. The results of DIBA were compared with culture findings of the parasite in 245 female patients. Taking culture as the reference method, DIBA had a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 93%. The predictive value of a posit...

Human genital trichomoniasis has. received a good deal of Attention in recent years, but there are still many aspects of this disease which need fuller investigation. This paper, based on work carried out at the London Hospital during the past 2i years, is offered as an aid in elucidating certain of the more important of these problems-namely, the incidence, mechanism of infection, cause of rel...
