Abstract:
1. A method for detecting Trichomoniasis comprising: providing a biological sample; contacting the biological sample with a substance comprising an oligonucleotide probe set that comprises a first oligonucleotide primer comprising SEQ ID NO. 12, a second oligonucleotide primer comprising SEQ ID NO. 13 and a probe comprising SEQ ID NO. 14, wherein the oligonucleotide probe is detectably labeled and wherein the probe and primers anneal to a target gene that is SEQ ID NO:1 at the location between about base pairs 317 to 560 on the target gene; annealing the oligonucleotide probe set to the target gene; amplifying the target sequence between the two primers by a nucleic acid amplification reaction; and detecting the label as an indication of the hybridization of the probe set to the target sequence thereby indicating the presence or amount of Trichomoniasis.
