Trichomonas

Trichomonas(s)

Trichomonas is the common name for parasitic protozoa from the class of flagellates.

  1. Trichomonadida is an order of parasitic protozoa of the flagellate class. Combines organisms with an extranuclear spindle, a parabasal body and an internal skeleton of tubular microfibrils.

  2. Trichomonas is a genus of protozoa of the order Trichomonadidae, family Trichomonadidae. Characterized by the presence of four free flagella and a short undulating membrane. Includes species that cause trichomoniasis in humans.

Thus, Trichomonas are a group of parasitic unicellular organisms classified as protozoa. They are causative agents of diseases in humans and animals.



Trichomonas are a genus of protozoan organisms that can cause disease in humans. They belong to the Trichomonade family and are single-celled microorganisms. There are more than 50 species of Trichomonas, which can be pathogenic to humans and other animals and can be sexually transmitted. Some species cause an infection of the genitals in women, called trichomoniasis.

Trichomonas are less than 20 microns in size and have the characteristic feature of eight flagella that move in a longitudinal direction. One of the success factors for microorganisms is that they multiply (divide) quickly without having a cell wall. The growth of Trichomonas appears due to electronic metabolism only through the outer integument. In order to make it easier to find Trichomonas cells in the liquid and then get rid of them, special tests are required. The test helps diagnose infections caused by this microorganism. Diseases caused by Trichomonas are transmitted sexually. Often the appearance of infection is caused by poor diet, impaired immunity and promiscuity. Trichomoniasis is the most common sexually transmitted infectious process in the world, which is caused by pathogen species (protozoan bacteria Trichomonas). The cause of the disease is microscopic parasites that infect the walls of the urethra and cervix. Sexually transmitted pathologies can occur in both male and female patients. If treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, complications in the form of pyelonephritis, inflammatory pathologies and a chronic inflammatory process that can spread to the kidneys are possible. Often the processes lead to infertility and have serious consequences - such as acute inflammation of the genitourinary system, epididymitis, prostatitis and others.
