Abstract

Trichomonas vaginalis viruses (TVVs) are double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses that cohabitate in Trichomonas vaginalis , the causative pathogen of trichomoniasis, the most common nonviral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Featuring an unsegmented dsRNA genome encoding a single capsid shell protein (CSP), TVVs contrast with multisegmented dsRNA viruses, such as the diarrhea-causing rotavirus, whose larger genome is split into 10 dsRNA segments encoding 5 unique capsid proteins.
