Trichomoniasis stands as a widespread sexually transmitted infection. Through our innovative strides in trichomoniasis research, we lead the way in crafting state-of-the-art IVD tools to optimize the management of trichomoniasis. Serving as your dependable trichomoniasis diagnostic research collaborator, we deliver unmatched assistance to fulfill your research requirements.
Trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) globally, stems from the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. This infection predominantly impacts individuals identified as female at birth. Trichomoniasis frequently presents without symptoms, posing challenges for diagnosis. With about 3.7 million cases documented in the United States, there is a pressing demand for specialized diagnostic solutions to detect this complex disease.

Trichomoniasis diagnostic biomarkers are essential to achieve early detection, accurate diagnosis, and timely intervention, ultimately improving therapeutic outcomes and reducing transmission rates. Common biomarkers used for trichomoniasis diagnosis are listed below.
DNA
PCR technology that targets specific regions of Trichomonas vaginalis DNA allows for sensitive and specific identification of the parasite. By amplifying and detecting DNA sequences, healthcare providers can confirm active infection.
Antibodies
When exposed to the parasite, the host produces antibodies specific for Trichomonas vaginalis antigens. Detection of these antibodies in serum or other biological specimens can indicate recent or past exposure to the parasite.
Antigens
Specific Trichomonas vaginalis surface antigens, such as P270 and AP65, serve as valuable biomarkers for diagnostic testing. Identification and quantification of these antigens help confirm the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis infection.
In vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits offer rapid, accurate, and user-friendly solutions for the diagnosis of trichomoniasis. These kits efficiently screen and diagnose trichomoniasis by detecting specific biomarkers associated with Trichomonas vaginalis infection, thereby enabling early detection and timely intervention.
