Mycoplasma hominis impacts gene expression in Trichomonas vaginalis

open access: yesParasitology Research, 2018
In Europe, up to 90% of isolated Trichomonas vaginalis strains are naturally infected with Mycoplasma hominis, a facultative pathogen of the human genital tract. The consequences of this endosymbiosis are not yet well understood.

Prevalence and Diversity of Haemosporidian–Associated Matryoshka RNA Viruses in a Natural Population of Wild Birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study investigated the prevalence and diversity of Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV) in wild birds in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Using RNA sequencing and RT‐PCR, we identified two novel MaRNAVs (MaRNAV‐5 and ‐6) associated with haemosporidian infections in passerines and raptors. These findings suggest a high prevalence of these viruses,

Suboptimal \u3cem\u3eTrichomonas vaginalis\u3c/em\u3e Antigen Test Performance in a Low-Prevalence Sexually Transmitted Infection Community [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common nonviral etiology of sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide. The OSOM Trichomonas rapid test (OSOM; Sekisui Diagnostics, San Diego, CA) is a rapid surrogate to microscopic analysis in symptomatic patients,

Association between Trichomonas vaginalis and prostate cancer mortality

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, 2018
We previously observed a positive association between seropositivity for the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis and risk of clinically significant prostate cancer at diagnosis. Here, we examined whether T.

Evaluation of point‐of‐care diagnostics for sexually transmitted infection on oral PrEP initiation and persistence among young people in South Africa: a randomized controlled study

open access: yesJournal of the International AIDS Society, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Introduction Pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services are linked to increased sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnoses, which may facilitate PrEP uptake. We hypothesized that point‐of‐care (POC) STI testing and treatment would improve PrEP initiation and persistence. Methods Between September 2023 and November 2024, we conducted a single‐

Development of a SimpleProbe real-Time PCR Assay for rapid detection and identification of the US novel urethrotropic clade of Neisseria meningitidis ST-11 (US_NmUC) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Urethritis, or inflammation of the urethra, is one of the most common reasons men seek clinical care. Sexually transmitted pathogens including Neisseria gonorrhoeae are responsible for over half of the symptomatic urethritis cases in U.S. men.

Trichomonas vaginalis Pharmacological Treatment

open access: yes, 2021
Trichomoniasis is the most common sexually transmitted protozoan infection, which has been treated for several decades using nitroimidazoles, mainly metronidazole and tinidazole. Both drugs are still recommended and resistance to them has fortunately been a relatively rare phenomenon.

Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) for the Diagnosis of Sexually Transmitted Infections: A Review

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2025.
LAMP assay for point‐of‐care tests. ABSTRACT Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a significant public health concern. Given the asymptomatic nature of many STIs, diagnostic testing is critical for determining the appropriate treatment, enabling effective tracing and reducing the risk of further transmission.

Expansion of Comprehensive Screening of Male Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinic Attendees with \u3cem\u3eMycoplasma genitalium\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3eTrichomonas vaginalis\u3c/em\u3e Molecular Assessment: a Retrospective Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Of 1,493 encounters of males at a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic in a community with a high prevalence of STI, Chlamydia trachomatis was detected in 8.7% and Neisseria gonorrhoeae was detected in 6.6%.
