recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Protein Science"

DOI: 10.1002/pro.5225

Abstract: The protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis (Tv) causes trichomoniasis, the most common non‐viral sexually transmitted infection in the world. Although Tv has been linked to significant health complications, only two closely related 5‐nitroimidazole drugs are approved… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/vms3.977

Abstract: Abstract Background Trichomonas vaginalis is a protist parasite that causes trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease. Metronidazole is the current treatment for trichomoniasis. However, this drug can provoke severe side effects, and some strains present resistance,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-021-07216-6

Abstract: Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI), caused by the protozoan parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis. Female sex workers are intensely affected by the infection, since they have frequent direct physical contact. The current systematic review and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-025-08463-7

Abstract: Trichomonas vaginalis infections significantly impact public health and are associated with increased likelihood of HIV infection, prostate cancer, and pregnancy complications. Current treatment relies almost exclusively on 5-nitroimidazoles, particularly metronidazole, raising concerns about drug resistance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.contraception.2021.01.011

Abstract: INTRODUCTION The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend considering screening asymptomatic women for trichomonas in high-prevalence settings. Whether urban abortion clinics constitute such a setting is unknown. MATERIAL AND METHODS We offered trichomonas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.micinf.2016.11.001

Abstract: Trichomonas vaginalis causes the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. The cytoadherence and cytotoxicity upon the vaginal epithelial cells are crucial for the infection. Extracellular nucleotides are released during cell damage and, along with… read more here.
