What is the prefix and suffix of trichomoniasis?

The word "trichomoniasis" doesn't have a clear prefix and suffix in the traditional sense. It's formed from the name of the causative organism, Trichomonas vaginalis.

Here's a breakdown:

* Trichomonas: This is the genus name of the parasite.

* -iasis: This suffix indicates a disease or condition caused by something.

So, "trichomoniasis" literally means "the condition caused by Trichomonas."
