In this work it is shown that Trichomonas vaginalis remains viable and infective in swimming pool water samples for several hours. After survival, trichomonad cytotoxicity was tested on primary cultures of epithelial cells. It demonstrates that the some trichomonad strains are able to survive in water pools and survival time is dependent on the degree of strain infectivity and also if it is a long term cultured or fresh isolate.
