Abstract excerpt
Trichomonas vaginalis, a flagellated protozoan parasite, is among the most common sexually transmitted pathogens in the world. The present study aimed to identify the genetic profiles of T. vaginalis in the southwest of Turkey with multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and to analyse the genetic structure of the parasite in a collection of isolates from different countries. The study included 27 T. vaginalis isolates...
