Blastocystis is a commonly encountered gastrointestinal protozoan in humans and animals
with uncertain pathogenicity. Despite its potential public health impact, epidemiological data …

Background Blastocystis is a stramenopile of worldwide significance due to its capacity to
colonize several hosts. Based on its high level of genetic diversity, Blastocystis is classified …

Three recent studies of Blastocystis epidemiology in mammalian hosts identified four novel
sequences that appeared to share B. lapemi as the most similar sequence. However, full …

Blastocystis is frequently reported in fecal samples from animals and humans worldwide,
and a variety of subtypes (STs) have been observed in wild and domestic animals. In …

Blastocystis sp. is an enteric protozoan that frequently colonizes humans and many animals.
Despite impacting on human health, data on the prevalence and subtype (ST) distribution of …

Blastocystis is a common intestinal protist in humans and animals worldwide. Wild and
domestic animals are thought to be reservoirs of Blastocystis subtypes that also infect …

Introduction The clinical significance of Blastocystis sp. and Dientamoeba fragilis in patients
with gastrointestinal symptoms is a controversial issue. Since the pathogenicity of these …

Blastocystis is an intestinal protist that presents worldwide distribution, colonizes animal and
human hosts, and is classified into at least 34 ribosomal subtypes (STs). Herein, we …

Blastocystis is a food and water borne intestinal parasite commonly identified in humans and
many other animals worldwide. Of the nine potentially zoonotic subtypes of Blastocystis …

Blastocystis is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with global distribution. However, limited
