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

The physical barrier of the intestine and associated mucosal immunity maintains a delicate
homeostatic balance between the host and the external environment by regulating immune …

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 …

The Blastocystis subtype ST10 has been recognized to contain a great deal of diversity at
the sequence level, potentially indicating the presence of multiple new STs within the clade …

Blastocystis is the most commonly found eukaryote in the gut of humans and other animals.
This protist is extremely heterogeneous genetically and is classified into 28 subtypes (STs) …

Molecular characterisation of endobionts that are shared among human and non-human
hosts can help shed light on the epidemiology and inform studies that aim to unravel the role …

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 …

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 …

Abstract In Egypt, Blastocystis sp. is not yet on the diagnostic list of parasitology reports, and
information about its subtypes (STs) is scarce. This study investigated its prevalence and its …
