Trichomonas vaginalis is a causative agent of vaginitis in female and  urethritis in men. It is primarily transmitted by sexually route. It is known  that each geographical area has its own set of Trichomonas vaginalis strain.  Parasite strains in each region have its specific characterizations and  different strains of the parasite are able to cause various diseases with the  acuity and severity. The aim of this study was to determine the genotyping of  Trichomonas vaginalis strains in the Shahrekord city (Chaharmahal Va  Bakhtiari province, southwest Iran). A total of 1725 vaginal samples were  taken from clinically suspected women for Trichomonas vaginalis infection and  21 specimens were diagnosed as positive by direct smear wet mount and culture  repeated passage of the parasite in the modified TYI-S-33 medium. The genomic  DNA was extracted from each sample and the nested polymerase chain reaction  was applied using specific oligonucleotide primers for actin gene  amplification. Finally, the restriction fragment length polymorphism using  RsaI, MseI, and HindII restriction enzymes were done on PCR products for  genotyping. PCR-RFLP analysis of 21 positive cases (1.22%) was showing the  most frequent genotype was H (8 cases), followed by G (4 cases), E (3 cases),  and P (2 cases). N and I genotypes were detected in each 1 case. Also, there  was 2 cases mix (E and H) genotype. The findings of the present work were  showed 7 different genetic strains in isolated Trichomonas vaginalis from  symptomatic and asymptomatic women in Shahrekord city. In this study high  level of H genotype in referred women in Shahrekord city was observed and H,  G, E, and I genotypes were may be related to burning and itching as well as  H, P, and mix genotypes were associated with malodorous discharge with pelvic  pain in this region of Iran. For a suggestion, it would be better in further  studies the accurate determination of genetic diversity of this parasite done  in Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari province and other parts of the country.
