Collectively, protozoa account for the largest number of STDs worldwide. Although these organisms can be eradicated effectively in the individual patient, their high asymptomatic carriage rate appears to have a significant influence on their continued transmission. The best hope for eradication of these organisms lies in a high index of suspicion in high-risk populations and the careful evaluation and treatment of sexual partners of infected persons.
总体而言，原生动物导致了全球范围内数量最多的性传播疾病。尽管这些病原体在个体患者中能够被有效根除，但其高无症状携带率似乎对它们的持续传播产生了重大影响。根除这些病原体的最大希望在于对高危人群保持高度警惕，以及对感染者的性伴侣进行仔细评估和治疗。
