Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasite that
causes vaginal and urethral infections.
Trichomonas vaginalis is a typical
sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Vaginal contamination of Trichomonas
vaginalis can either go undetected and
show no symptoms ( asymptomatic carrier)
or it can be detected by acute or chronic
inflammation in the local area (genital
discharge, pain and discomfort, etc.). The
clinical manifestation of trichomonas
vaginalis depends upon the agent’s
virulence and a person's immunity. Men are
usually asymptomatic carriers of
trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas
vaginalis can be detected in the vagina
with a microbiological examination (in a
native smear or with cultivation).
