This review focused on potential regulatory mechanisms of Trichomonas vaginalis virulence
properties, cytoadherence, cytotoxicity, phagocytosis, hemolysis, induction of apoptosis, and …

New developments in the molecular and cellular basis of T. vaginalis pathobiology
combined with data on the urogenital tract microbiota and immunology have enriched our …

The mucosal microbiota is recognised as an important factor for our health, with many
disease states linked to imbalances in the normal community structure. Hence, there is …

Background To establish an infection in the vagina, Trichomonas vaginalis must adapt to
various environmental cues for survival and further replication. Nutrient competition by …

The draft genome of the common sexually transmitted pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis
encodes one of the largest known proteome with 60,000 candidate proteins. This provides …

The elusive nature of Trichomonas vaginalis, the most common, non-viral, sexually
transmitted pathogen has hampered our knowledge of its significance for human health for …

We focus on the iron response of Trichomonas vaginalis to gene family products such as the
cysteine proteinases (CPs) involved in virulence properties. In particular, we examined the …

Background Parabasalia are single-celled eukaryotes (protists) that are mainly comprised of
endosymbionts of termites and wood roaches, intestinal commensals, human or veterinary …

Introduction: Trichomonas vaginalis is considered the most prevalent curable sexually
transmitted infection, and its occurrence exceeds that of gonococcal and chlamydia …

The Trichomonas vaginalis 120 kDa protein adhesin (AP120) is induced under iron-rich
conditions and has sequence homology with pyruvate: ferredoxin oxidoreductase A (PFO A) …
