Trichomonas vaginalis
We have investigated the effects of a novel neutrophil-activating factor released by Trichomonas vaginalis (TV-NAF) on neutrophil chemotaxis. TV-NAF was present in the supernatant from 107 T. vaginalis (STV) cultured in 1 ml of serum-free Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) at 37°C for 30 min. With a multichamber chemotactic assay, we found that there were 112 + 15 migrated neutrophils (mean ±...
متن کاملciliated/flagellated protozoan, regardless of the site of infection. Three trichomonads – Trichomonas tenax, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Pentatrichomonas hominis
26 fowleri, causes a fulminant disease called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in an extremely small percentage of people who come in contact with it. As this protozoan tends to inhabit warm, fresh water, most victims acquire the organism while swimming.1 Amebae enter the swimmer’s nose and access the subarachnoid space of the CNS via the olfactory neuroepithelium and olfactory nerves.1...
متن کاملOptimal Reference Genes for Gene Expression Normalization in Trichomonas vaginalis
Trichomonas vaginalis is the etiologic agent of trichomonosis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. This infection is associated with several health consequences, including cervical and prostate cancers and HIV acquisition. Gene expression analysis has been facilitated because of available genome sequences and large-scale transcriptomes in T. vaginalis, particularly...
متن کاملGene Diversity of Trichomonas vaginalis Isolates
BACKGROUND Trichomonas vaginalis is protozoan parasite responsible for trichomoniasis and is more common in high-risk behavior group such as prostitute individuals. Interest in trichomoniasis is due to increase one's susceptibility to viruses such as herpes, human papillomavirus and HIV. The aim of this study was to find genotypic differences between the isolates. METHODS Forty isolates from ...
متن کاملTrichomonas vaginalis infection
women attending a genitourinary medicine clinic. T vaginalis infection was diagnosed in 42 (11%) women. The sensitivities ofboth the latex agglutination test and the ELISA were 95% compared with 74% for microscopy and 76% for culture. The latex test was specific and showed no cross reaction with a wide range of other genital tract infections. The latex agglutination test can detect antigen in b...
