These pear-shaped organisms are 15-20 microns in length. Four flagella arise from the blunt end (lower left) and there is an undulating membrane down one side. They infect the genito urinary tracts of both sexes in men this is usually symptomless, but in women vaginal infection may cause severe irritation and a foul-smelling discharge.
