Abstract
Trichomonas vaginalis is a specific protozoan with a predilection for human urogenital tract and causative agent of vaginitis, cervicitis and urethritis in females. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis among female students in Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, where a total of one hundred (100) vaginal swab samples were collected from five female hostels (Block C, Block D, Block E, Block F and Block G), after which their bio data were collected to compare between the rate of prevalence. Wet mount preparation and staining methods were employed, where a total of 26 samples were infected; which shows that Block F has the highest prevalence of 11(55%) followed by Block D with 8 (40%), Block E with 3 (15%) and Block C and F with 2 (10%) respectively. Statistical analysis shows significant difference (p˂0.05) between the five student residences in the rate of prevalence. On age of the students, the highest prevalence of 13 (28.26%) was recorded in students 21-26 years, followed by 15-20 years with 10 (31.25%) and 27≥32 years with the lowest prevalence of 3 (11.64%). There was no significant difference (p˃0.05) between the age groups. Based on the level of study, 300L has the highest prevalence of 8 (36.37%) followed by 100L and 400L with prevalence of 6 (20.003%) respectively, then 200L with the prevalence of 4 (18.19), with 500L having the lowest prevalence of 2 (13.3%), although p˃0.05 is considered statistically non-significant.

Key words: Trichomonas vaginalis, Prevalence, wet mount preparation and vaginal swabs
