Proteinase was detected in all the swabs vaginal of infected women. Significantly, amounts of antigen (mean optical density (OD) values) were detected in swabs vaginal of symptomatic as compared to asymptomatic women. This protein was not detected in the group of patients with Trichomonas vaginalis-culture-negative results and in the groups of samples infected with other agents. Antibody to 62kDa was detected in the swabs vaginal the only 66.6% of the symptomatic and 55.5% of the asymptomatic infected women. Antibody to 62kDa was also detected in 7/30 of the swabs vaginal from uninfected women. No significant difference was observed in mean OD values of vaginal swabs of T. vaginalis-infected symptomatic as compared to asymptomatic women. The presence of proteinase in 100% of T. vaginalis-infected women suggested that 62kDa proteinase could be a virulence factor. oSpringer-Verlag, 2010 Hernández Hilda Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut Sariego Idalia Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut Alvarez Ana Microbiology Laboratory, Maternal Hospital Eusebio Hernández, Havana, Cuba aut Marcet Ricardo Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut Vancol Etna Microbiology Laboratory, Maternal Hospital Eusebio Hernández, Havana, Cuba aut Alvarez Anabel Microbiology Laboratory, Maternal Hospital Eusebio Hernández, Havana, Cuba aut Figueredo Mabel Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut Sarracent Jorge Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut Parasitology Research Springer-Verlag 108/1(2011-01-01), 241-245 0932-0113 108:1<241 2011 108 436 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00436-010-2078-5 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 brief-communication jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00436-010-2078-5 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Hernández Hilda Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sariego Idalia Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Alvarez Ana Microbiology Laboratory, Maternal Hospital Eusebio Hernández, Havana, Cuba aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Marcet Ricardo Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Vancol Etna Microbiology Laboratory, Maternal Hospital Eusebio Hernández, Havana, Cuba aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Alvarez Anabel Microbiology Laboratory, Maternal Hospital Eusebio Hernández, Havana, Cuba aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Figueredo Mabel Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sarracent Jorge Parasitology Department, Tropical Medicine Institute, Pedro Kouri, Havana, Cuba aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Parasitology Research Springer-Verlag 108/1(2011-01-01), 241-245 0932-0113 108:1<241 2011 108 436 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
