A member asked:
Some parabasalids can cause human infections? trichomonas is the one that causes a sexually transmitted infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes to both: The parabasalids are currently divided into 10 orders. The trichomonads have one group of 4-6 flagella, one of which is attached to the side of the cell and often forms an undulating membrane. Many are found in vertebrate hosts, including trichomonas vaginalis, which causes a sexually transmitted disease in humans.
