Adhesion of T. vaginalis to Caco 2 epithelial cells. Adhesion was measured by counting aleatory microscopic fields. Four parasite: host cells ratios were used (1:1; 2:1; 5:1 and 10:1). The strain JT (A, B) presented a small number of adhered parasites when compared with strain T016 (C, D). Iron concentration in the medium interferes with parasite adhesion, as observed comparing parasites grown in low iron (B, D) with those grown in high iron conditions (A, C). Iron concentration in the medium interferes with parasite adhesion, as observed in low iron (B, D) and high iron conditions (A, C).
