BACKGROUND: Molecular methods to track the spread of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection, the most common curable non-viral sexually transmitted infection globally, associated with poor reproductive health outcomes and low socio-economic status are challenging, as ultra-long repetitive DNA sequences in TV make whole genome sequencing difficult. We undertook multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of TV using...
