Trichomoniasis is a worldwide infection and due to its complications rapid and accurate diagnosis of infection especially in pregnant women is very important. In this study, development of a latex agglutination test using native antigens for rapid diagnosis of trichomoniasis is investigated. Trichomonas vaginalis was harvested from TYIS33 culture medium and anti Trichomonas vaginalis antiserum ...

BACKGROUND Trichomonas vaginalis is the agent of urogenital tract infection that causes human trichomoniasis with some serious health complications. More understanding about genetic features of the parasite can be helpful in the study of the pathogenesis, drug susceptibility and epidemiology of the infection. For this end, we conducted analysis of the actin gene of T. vaginalis by applying the ...

Trichomonas vaginalis produces soluble factors that have been reported to have the ability to damage target cells in vitro, and it has been hypothesized that these factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of human trichomoniasis. A lytic factor (LF) was purified from T. vaginalis, and the molecular characteristics of LF were determined. T. vaginalis extract was subjected to hydrophobic chrom...

Trichomonas vaginalis was originally considered a commensal organism until the 1950s when the understanding of its role as a sexually transmitted infection (STI) began to evolve. Trichomoniasis has been associated with vaginitis, cervicitis, urethritis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and adverse birth outcomes. Infection with T vaginalis could have an important role in transmission and acqu...

trichomoniasis is one of the most common urinary-genital tract disease. the causal agent of trichomoniasis is flagellate protozoan called trichomonas vaginalis. metronidazole and tinidazole are the drug of choice for treatment. carcinogenic and embryo-teratogenic effects of the mentioned drugs and resistance to metronidazole has been reported. according to cytotoxic effects of medicinal herbs i...

Trichomonas vaginalis is an extracellular parasite that colonizes the human urogenital tract, causing a highly prevalent sexually transmitted infection. The must change its transcriptional profile in order to establish and maintain However, few core regulatory elements transcription factors have been identified date little known about other mechanisms may control these rapid changes gene expres...

background: trichomoniasis is the most common nonviral sexually transmitted human disease that is caused by protozoan trichomonas vaginalis. metronidazole is the selective drug in trichomoniasis treatment. however, the reported cases show an increasing trend of drug resistance. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of mango and blueberry extracts on t. vaginalis. materials and methods: t. vag...
