Background Blastocystis is a common intestinal protozoa found in animal and human fecal
samples, with over 1 billion individuals infected worldwide. Since domestication, dogs and …

Animals such as rodents and birds may play a key role in the distribution of Blastocystis sp.,
either as introducers of the parasite into the water or as receptors of an infection already …

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 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) …

Blastocystis is a common food-and water-borne intestinal protist parasite of humans and
many other animals. Blastocystis comprises multiple subtypes (STs) based on variability …

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 …

Intestinal protists in the gut microbiome are increasingly studied, but their basic
epidemiology is not well understood. We explored the prevalence, genetic diversity, and …

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 …

Background Blastocystis is a common gut protistan parasite in humans and animals
worldwide, but its interrelationship with the host gut microbiota and mucosal immune …

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 …
