Abstract
When ranked with other pathogens of humans, Trichomonas vaginalis sets few records for effectiveness. Although tenacious among those it infects, this flagellated protist and sexually transmitted parasite of the human urogenital tract is generally more irritating than damaging—except in cases where it leads to pelvic inflammatory disease, increases susceptibility to HIV, or contributes to other complications. However, despite its poor showing as a pathogen of humans, this parasite may set records insofar as it carries an unusually complex genome, one that is extraordinarily rich in numbers of genes and gene copies.
