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...

Trichomonas gallinae isolates from pigeon and chicken were amplified by polymerase chain reaction using Fe hydrogenase gene characterized molecular tools to determine the geographical location sequences analyzed phylogenetically. The in present study 100% similar T. of Iran Austria. Random samples found positive for trichomoniasis culture throat swab live birds confirmed PCR. showed clear band ...

The main objective is to assist practitioners in managing men and women diagnosed with Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection. This guideline offers recommendations on the diagnostic tests, treatment regimens and health promotion principles needed for the effective management of TV, covering the management of the initial presentation, as well as how to prevent transmission and future infection.

Trichomonas vaginalis infections in the male have received scant attention.Baumeister and Hollinger (1941), after an intensive search of world medical literature, discovered records of only 145 cases of infection in the male urethra by T. vaginalis. Liston and Lees (1940) reported that they could not find a single paper on the subject in any medical journal published in Great Britain, and Freed...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate existing protocols, based on Alamar blue (resazurin), for the routine determination of drug susceptibility in trichomonads, develop new ones and validate these by screening small antiprotozoal libraries. METHODS The resazurin-based assay was evaluated by determining fluorescence development in Trichomonas media with various cell densities after various intervals and in ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible involvement of human trichomonads (Pentatrichomonas hominis and Trichomonas tenax) other than Trichomonas vaginalis in the aetiology of vaginal trichomoniasis. METHODS Vaginal swabs taken from women attending antenatal clinics were tested for Trichomonas vaginalis by traditional assays (wet-mount microscopy and InPouch culture) and nucleic acid amplificat...

Levels of mRNAs encoding metabolic enzymes and their cellular activities were measured on continuous culture samples of the parasitic protists Trypanosoma brucei and Trichomonas vaginalis. The organisms were grown in chemostats at varying growth rates under glucose limitation or in the presence of excess glucose (EG), resulting in extensive adaptation of the cellular activities of glycolytic en...

La diarrea neonatal bovina (DNB) es una enfermedad que afecta a los neonatos en las producciones ganaderas. Su origen multifactorial y genera grandes pérdidas económicas. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la prevalencia de agentes etiológicos través un estudio epidemiológico transversal mediante muestreo selectivo animales susceptibles al síndrome DNB el Valle Cauca (Colombia). Para fueron...
