Select one of the organisms in this section. Describe the disease it causes, then compare similarities or contrast differences in modes of transmission of the selected organism with any other organism in any other section in this document. Focus on structures, conditions, or behaviors that make disease transmission successful:
Trichomonas causes vaginal inflammation and is primarily transmitted but sexual contact. The other 2 organisms are spead through the tsetse fly or ingestion of fecal matter. Trichomoniasis is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. It is a know disease worldwide compared to Trypanosoma which is only found in Arica.
