The behaviour and pathogenic effects of Trichomonas vaginalis in mammalian cell cultures were studied using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Six hours after inoculation of the parasites into the cell cultures about 10% of the epithelial monolayer was destroyed. The parasites adhered to the epithelial cells, developed an amoeboid morphology, and crawled over and under the monolayer of cells. These observations suggest that the adhesiveness, amoeboid morphology, and motility of T vaginalis may be important mechanisms in the injury caused to the vaginal epithelium.
利用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜研究了阴道毛滴虫在哺乳动物细胞培养物中的行为和致病作用。将寄生虫接种到细胞培养物中6小时后,约10%的上皮单层被破坏。寄生虫附着在上皮细胞上,形成阿米巴样形态,并在细胞单层上和下方爬行。这些观察结果表明,阴道毛滴虫的黏附性、阿米巴样形态和运动性可能是对阴道上皮造成损伤的重要机制。
