“…clinically manifests with symptoms of vaginal itching, odor, purulent, foul-smelling and vaginal discharge, which is associated with pruritis, dysuria and dyspareunia (Schwebke et al, 2004;Swygard et al, 2004). The discharge usually exceeds pH 6.0, and a 'strawberry' cervix, which is characterized by punctate hemorrhagic lesions, is described.…”

“…There are reports of dysuria, lower abdominal discomfort, itchiness of the vagina, leucorrhea, and vaginal odor in some women (Schwebke and Burgess 2004). Thus, Trichomonas vaginalis infection is usually only detected during routine STD screening (Bosserman et al 2011).…”

Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus are important extracellular protozoans that cause, respect i v e l y, h u m a n a n d b o v i n e v e n e r e a l d i s e a s e s . Trichomonads are extracellular parasites that primarily inhabit the genital tracts of the mammalian hosts where they overcome the mucus barrier and parasitize mucosa by contact-dependent or contact-independent cytotoxicity. Transient immunity is usually achieved by the host after clinical infection. At present, vaccination in cattle reduces infection rates and reproductive wastage in affected herds. After vaccination, immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels increase in systemic circulation while immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels rise in the vagina. Only moderate protection is conferred by means of vaccination. Future vaccine development strategies are needed for cattle to enhance the antigenic component or use adjuvant that strongly activates the innate immune response to produce safe and potent vaccines. This paper reviews the current knowledge of the immunology of trichomoniasis infection and the challenges and potential of vaccines in the control of the infection in human and bovine trichomoniasis.

“…In pregnant women, trichomonads are implicated in premature membrane rupture, premature labor, and in the delivery of low-birth weight babies. In addition, T. vaginalis could have an important role in the transmission and acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (Mundodi et al, 2009;Schwebke and Burgess, 2004;Swygard et al, 2004).…”

The plant kingdom is considered to be a repository of modern medicine, attributable to their rich source of bio-active molecules and secondary metabolites. It is indeed the Nutraceuticals that enhance immunity and ensure a healthier life because of their prophylactic and therapeutic values. Over centuries, papaya [Caricaceae; (Carica papaya Linn.)] is a renowned nutritious and medicinal plant. Each part of the papaya like root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, seed, rinds, and latex has its own nutraceutical properties. It serves as food, cooking aid, and Ethnomedicine to prevent and treat wide-range of diseases and disorders. It has also been traditionally used as appetite enhancer, meat tenderizer, purgative, medicinal acne, abortifacient and vermifuge. Over decades, a series of scientific attempts were made to authenticate the nutraceutical properties of papaya. These studies validated that the papaya has antiplasmodial, antitrichochramal, antitrichomonal, antidengue, and anti-cancer activities. They have also exhibited that papaya possesses antiseptic, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and contraceptive features, and it helps in the management of sickle-cell anaemia, HIV, heart diseases and digestional disorders too. Nevertheless, the responsible bio-active molecules and their mode of actions remain indistinct and imprecise, and this calls for further pharmacological and clinical research on them. Conclusively, papaya is one of the naturally gifted plants; though its nutraceutical properties as a food or as a quasi-drug are poorly understood or undervalued by people. Accordingly, this scrutiny, demand for instigation of public health awareness campaigns to promote papaya consumption, so that the society shall acquire optimal benefits of papaya and in turn prevent and alleviate various diseases and illness.
