Next medical illustration of This 3D bioscape features a very common STD known as trichomoniasis that is caused by the single-celled parasitic organism Trichomonas vaginalis. The organism has a pear-shaped trophozoite form when not in contact with male or female urogential tract epithelium, but once it touches a host cell it assumes a closely-applied amoeboid form that is cytotoxic, causing inflammation and host tissue damage. The 'frothy' exudate spilling over the epithelial cells is characteristic of trichomoniasis.
