Medical Laboratory Sciences Department, College of Health Sciences/ University of Duhok, Iraq.
Article Synopsis
- Vaginal infections among reproductive-age women are primarily caused by the protozoa parasite causing trichomoniasis and fungi responsible for candidiasis, which can lead to serious complications if untreated.
- A study conducted in Duhok City, Iraq, analyzed 400 vaginal swabs and found that 24 tested positive for trichomoniasis, while 100 showed evidence of candidiasis, with three specific species of the fungus identified.
- The highest prevalence of these infections was among women aged 25-35 years, and mixed infections were noted in a small percentage, highlighting the importance of education and hygiene practices to reduce these infections.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how imbalances in the vaginal ecosystem can lead to an increased risk of infections like vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, and sexually transmitted diseases.
- It involved analyzing data from 2,110 patients who had bacterioscopic examinations and vaginal swabs for symptoms of vaginal infections.
- Results showed that specific alterations in fresh bacterioscopic examinations were linked to higher rates of infections and co-infections, highlighting the need for thorough examinations in symptomatic patients.
extracellular vesicles up-regulate and directly transfer adherence factors promoting host cell colonization.

, a common sexually transmitted parasite that colonizes the human urogenital tract, secretes extracellular vesicles (TvEVs) that are taken up by human cells and are speculated to be taken up by parasites as well. While the crosstalk between TvEVs and human cells has led to insight into host:parasite interactions, roles for TvEVs in infection have largely been one-sided, with little known about the effect of TvEV uptake by . Approximately 11% of infections are found to be coinfections of multiple strains.
