Trichomonas vaginalis with a double-stranded RNA virus has upregulated levels of phenotypically variable immunogen mRNA.

Journal of virology - 1 Jun 1994

Abstract excerpt

Some isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis carry a double-stranded RNA virus (TVV) and undergo phenotypic variation between surface expression and cytoplasmic expression of a prominent immunogen (P270). Only trichomonads with TVV express P270 on the surface. Northern (RNA) blots using a specific cDNA...
