Prevalence of T. vaginalis in women attending New York City STD clinics.

The number of vaginal swabs collected at each clinic is shown, followed by the number of swabs found to be positive for T. vaginalis by wet mount, in vitro culture and PCR. NA: technician not available at clinic for wet-mount diagnosis during duration of sample collection.*n represents the number of samples diagnosed as positive via wet mount, and N represents the number of samples tested by wet mount. Type 1 parasites are more likely to be infected with the T. vaginalis virus TVV and are more susceptible to metronidazole, compared to type 2 parasites.

各诊所采集的阴道拭子数量已列明，随后展示了通过湿片法（wet mount）、体外培养（in vitro culture）以及聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测为阴道毛滴虫（T. vaginalis）阳性的拭子数量。
注：样本采集期间，相关诊所无开展湿片法诊断的技术人员（NA）。
*n代表通过湿片法确诊为阳性的样本数量，N代表经湿片法检测的样本总数量。
与2型虫株相比，1型虫株更易感染阴道毛滴虫病毒（TVV），且对甲硝唑（metronidazole）的敏感性更高。
