genetic identification of trichomonas vaginalis by using the actin gene and molecular based methods.

Genetic Identification of Trichomonas vaginalis by Using the Actin Gene and Molecular Based Methods

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 ...

study on its1 gene of iranian trichomonas vaginalis by molecular methods

background: trichomoniasis is a worldwide protozoan parasitic disease and metronidazole is a choice drug for its treatment. because of disease importance in public health and its controversial ideas about the prevalence of drug resistance, this study was carried out. methods: fifty-two suspected vaginal samples were collected from 2006 to 2007 in gynecology maryam hospital, tehran, iran. all is...

Identification of Antigenic Proteins in Trichomonas vaginalis

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease due to infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, and it can cause serious consequences for women's health. To study the virulence factors of this pathogen, T. vaginalis surface proteins were investigated using polyclonal antibodies specific to the membrane fractions of T. vaginalis. The T. vaginalis expression library was constructed by cloning the c...

TITLE: Genetic Characterization of Trichomonas vaginalis Isolates using Multilocus Sequence

prevalence of trichomonas vaginalis using parasitological methods in tehran

background: trichomonas vaginalis is a parasitic protozoan with a predilection for human urogenital tract and causative agent for vaginitis, cervicitis and urethritis in females. t. vaginalis is known as a cofactor in transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and may lead to adverse outcomes in pregnant women. the goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of t. vaginalis infection i...
