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 …

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 …

Background Blastocystis is a common intestinal protist with a wide range of hosts. Thus far,
38 subtypes have been identified. In recent years, wild animals have been confronted with …

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 spp. are among the few enteric parasites with a prevalence that can reach up to
approximately 80% in communities of developing countries. This systematic review updates …

Blastocystis sp., is an intestinal protist with a broad host range and a high prevalence in
human populations worldwide, even in developed Western countries. The publication of …

Blastocystis sp. is among the most frequent intestinal protists identified in humans globally.
However, characterization of Blastocystis subtype diversity in humans is ongoing. We report …
