Transient and selectable transformation of the parasitic protist  <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i>

Abstract excerpt

We have developed methods to transiently and selectably transform the human-infective protist Trichomonas vaginalis. This parasite, a common cause of vaginitis worldwide, is one of the earlier branching eukaryotes studied to date. We have introduced three heterologous genes into T. vaginalis by electroporation and have used the 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the endogenous gene alpha-succinyl CoA synthetase B...
