Abstract:

The observation showed that the percentage of Trichomonas vaginalis trophozoites at the stages of interphase,binary fission and multiple fission was 66.5%,24.1% and 9.4% respectively. Cells in binary fission could be classified as premitosis phase,prophase,metaphase,anaphase and telophase. 3 to 8 microcosms were seen in one trophozoite under multiple fission and the percentage of trophozoites with 3 and 4 microcosms occupied 69% and 24.5% respectively. Cells with abnormal morphs were also observed.

Key words: Trichomonas vaginalis, Mitosis, Giemsa staining
