Purine metabolism in Trichomonas vaginalis.
The purine metabolism of several genera of parasitic protozoa, is of interest partly due to their sensitivity to purine analogues, and to differences in the enzymes of purine metabolism compared to mammalian systems [l-6]. Trichomonas vaginalis, the causative agent of trichomonal vaginitis, a mild, but very common, sexually-transmitted disease, has not been studied in this respect; there is a g...
متن کاملTrichomonas 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 ±...

We aimed to investigate the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis in diabetic patients referred to diabetic research center. Material and Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, 215 women referring to the Diabetic Center in Kermanshah Province were invest...
متن کاملArginine metabolism in Trichomonas vaginalis infected with Mycoplasma hominis
Both Mycoplasma hominis and Trichomonas vaginalis utilize arginine as an energy source via the arginine dihydrolase (ADH) pathway. It has been previously demonstrated that M. hominis forms a stable intracellular relationship with T. vaginalis; hence, in this study we examined the interaction of two localized ADH pathways by comparing T. vaginalis strain SS22 with the laboratory-generated T. vag...
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...
