Transmission dynamics of Trichomonas vaginalis: A mathematical approach [PDF]
Despite the availability of treatment that is effective, Trichomonas vaginalis infections are still high. A deterministic model for transmission dynamics of Trichomonas vaginalis is presented as a system of non-linear differential equations.

Phytochemical-rich foods inhibit the growth of pathogenic trichomonads
Background Plants produce secondary metabolites that often possess widespread bioactivity, and are then known as phytochemicals. We previously determined that several phytochemical-rich food-derived preparations were active against pathogenic foodborne ...

Use of Irradiated and Formalin-fixed Trichomonas vaginalis to Examine Protective Immune Responses in the Mouse Intraperitoneal Model [PDF]
Gamma irradiated Trichomonas vaginalis was used to initiate a protective immune response in mice by intraperitoneal inoculation using host mortality as the measure of virulence. Irradiated trichomonads of a virulent strain gave some immune protection but
