Abstract Background The methods routinely used to detect trichomonads in the lungs are not sensitive enough, and an effective method is urgently needed. Method Primers were first designed to match the conserved area of the 18S rRNA gene of trichomonads. Then, nested PCR was carried out to detect tri...
