Histological changes of mice testis infected with Trichomonas vaginalis in Vivo

Abstract

Background: This study concerned with the effect of Trichomonas vaginalis parasite on the histology of Mice testis. Objective: many histological changes in the mice testis infected with this parasite.Design and Setting: 25 experimental mice were used (10) as a control group and (15) mice of one month age .The parasite was taken from the vaginal swab of the female consult AL-Battol teaching hospital and after (15) days of inoculation of the parasite in the mice the testis was taken which showed many histological changes while no such changes in the testis of the control group. Results: The testis of the second group showed the presence of the Trichomonas vaginalis together with intense inflammatory cellular infiltration, edema and congestion of blood vessels. Cessation in the process of spermatogesis with destruction of ledig cells. Conclusion: All these changes indicated that the infection with the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite could affect all organs in the body especially the male and female genital organs.The aim: This study was to show the effect of Trichomonas vaginalis in Vivo infection on the genital tissue of mice through histological section examinations
