Trichomonas
vaginalis resides in the female lower genital tract and the male urethra
and prostate
, where
it replicates by binary fission
. The
parasite does not appear to have a cyst form, and does not survive well in
the external environment. Trichomonas vaginalis is transmitted among
humans, its only known host, primarily by sexual intercourse
.
