Trichomonas vaginalis
Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis, one of the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infections worldwide. While often asymptomatic, the infection can cause urogenital inflammation and has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and increased susceptibility to other infections. Accurate detection is essential for monitoring and control.
Trichomonas vaginalis PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology offer a sensitive and specific solution for detecting T. vaginalis DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays support clinical laboratory use for diagnostics of trichomoniasis, identification of T. vaginalis, and applications such as sexually transmitted infections (STI) research, public health surveillance, and molecular parasitology studies from clinical samples.
