    Notes: . The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used for phylogenetic analysis of trichomonads, for intraspecies genealogical study of Trichomonas vaginalis strains, and for assessment of intrastrain polymorphism in Trichomonas vaginalis. The phylogenetic tree for 12 trichomonad species showed certain discrepancies with current models of trichomonad evolution. However, it shows that RAPD traits retain phylogenetically relevant information. The results of intraspecies analyses of 18 Trichomonas vaginalis strains suggested some concordance between the genetic relationship of strains and their geographic origin. They also suggested a concordance between the strain genetic relationships and the resistance to metronidazole. A concordance was also found with respect to the severity of disease observed in donor patients but not with the results of laboratory virulence assays. No concordance was found between genetic relationship of strains and strain infection with a dsRNA Trichomonas vaginalis virus (TVV). The latter suggests that TVV might be transmitted horizontally among Trichomonas vaginalis populations. The identity of RAPD patterns of clones isolated from in vitro cultures and those of the cultures reisolated independently from the same patient within a period of six weeks suggests that individual Trichomonas vaginalis strains are not polymorphic and that the RAPD patterns are stable. Therefore, the RAPD technique seems useful for addressing various clinically relevant issues.

    Notes: Abstract The ability of a microbial invader to acquire iron from its vertebrate host has been recognized as an important virulence mechanism in some pathogenic bacteria. We examined the involvement of similar mechanisms in an experimental infection of mice by a protozoan pathogen of cattle, Tritrichomonasfoetus. In a series of experiments, outbred ICR mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with two strains of T. foetus, the moderately virulent KV-1 (∼5% mortality rate) and the highly virulent LUB-1MIP (∼80% mortality rate). Treatment of mice with ferric ammonium citrate (FeAC) (100 mg/kg per day intraperitoneally) increased the mortality rate caused by the KV-1 infection up to the level determined for the highly virulent strain. The treatment effect was dose dependent and required early administration of FeAC after inoculation of parasites and its continued supply for at least 3 subsequent days. Daily sampling of peritoneal exudate showed that the infection-enhancing effect of iron overload was associated with a stimulation of parasite multiplication, which in the case of KV-1 infection was strongly suppressed in untreated mice. Consistent with these findings, the strain of lower virulence (KV-1) showed considerably lower efficiency accumulating radiolabeled iron from transferrin and a low-molecular source [Fe(III)nitrilotriacetic acid] in vitro. The results indicate an involvement of iron uptake mechanisms by the parasite as a virulence factor in T. foetus infection.
