title: [Research progress on the molecular pathogenesis of Trichomonas vaginalis].
abstract: Trichomonas vaginalis is one of the most common human sexually transmitted pathogens that colonize the urogenital mucosa. This paper reviews those factors in the molecular pathogenesis of the parasite, including cell adhesin, interaction with fibronectin and laminin, G-proteins, pore-forming protein and proteinases.
