Trichomonas Vaginalis: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment provides up-to-date knowledge about Trichomoniasis, the most prevalent and neglected non-viral sexually transmitted infection that can result in compromised reproductive health. The book discusses its epidemiology, the pathogenesis of disease, the mechanisms involved in the host immune response, clinical manifestations, and its impact on reproductive health. In addition, it also describes the new insights and challenges involved in the identification of promising drug targets and examines current diagnostic tools and therapies against Trichomonas vaginalis infection. In summary, the book provides comprehensive coverage of this neglected protozoan parasite and the sexually transmitted infection it causes. It is a valuable resource to researchers and scientists who are working on male and female reproductive disorders caused by Trichomonas vaginalis.
