Despite Blastocystis being one of the most widespread and prevalent intestinal eukaryotes,
its role in health and disease remains elusive. DNA-based detection methods have led to a …

Blastocystis is a ubiquitous parasite that infects a broad range of vertebrate hosts including
humans and domestic and wild animals. While human infections have been occasionally …

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

Blastocystis is a common intestinal micro-eukaryote found in both humans and non-human
hosts and known to be genetically very diverse. It has been divided into numerous subtypes …

Blastocystis is a common parasite of the human large intestine but has an uncertain role in
disease. In this review, we appraise the published evidence addressing this and its …

Blastocystis is a common enteric protist colonizing probably more than 1 billion people
along with a large variety of non-human hosts. This protist has been linked to symptoms and …

Background Blastocystis is a common gut eukaryote detected in humans and animals. It has
been associated with gastrointestinal disease in the past although recent metagenomic …

Background Pathogenic intestinal protozoa infections are responsible for substantial
mortality and morbidity, particularly in settings where people lack improved sanitation and …

Parasites in the genus Blastocystis comprise several subtypes (genotypes) and have a
worldwide distribution. In some surveys, these are the most common parasites found in …

Blastocystis is an enteric protistan parasite of uncertain clinical relevance. Recent studies
indicate that the parasite is a species complex and humans are potentially hosts to nine …
