ABSTRACT
PEHPS medium, developed for zxenic cultivation of Entamoeba histolytica and E. invadens, was also capable of supporting the growth of a Trichomonas vaginalis strain, with an inoculum of 1 to 100 trichomonads/ml. The lorithmic growth phase in PEHPS or in TYI-S-33 medium lasted 72 h; yield (3.33 ñ 0.56 x 10 a the 6 trichomonads/ml), duplication time (4.27 h), number of duplications (16.85), or increase ratio (33,328) in PEHPS medium showed no significant differences with those obtained in TYI-S33 under similar culture conditions. Accordingly, PEHPS medium might be used for the axenic cultivation of T. vaginalis
