Blastocystis hominis and travelers

Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2005
B. hominis is a unicellular protozoan commonly identified in stool specimens of travelers who have returned from tropical countries. It has a world-wide distribution, and infection is more common in developing countries compared to industrialized nations.

Terminology for Blastocystis subtypes – a consensus

Trends in Parasitology, 2007
Blastocystis is a ubiquitous enteric protistan parasite that has extensive genetic diversity and infects humans and many other animals. Distinct molecular methodologies developed to detect variation and obtain information about transmission patterns and clinical importance have resulted in a confusing array of terminologies for the identification and ...

Infection par Blastocystis

Médecine et Santé Tropicales, 2017
Blastocystis hominis est un organisme commun de la flore intestinale de l’homme, du singe et du cobaye. D’abord considere comme une levure, puis comme une algue, il est actuellement classe parmi les protozoaires. Les enfants sont souvent porteurs de parasites intestinaux, dans les pays en voie de developpement en particulier dans les collectivites et ...

Subtype Analysis of Blastocystis Isolates from Blastocystis Cyst Excreting Patients

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
To determine the distribution of Blastocystis sp. subtypes from Blastocystis cyst excreters, 1,000 fecal samples from patients suspected of enteroparasitic disease were scored for stool consistency, submitted to xenic in vitro culture (XIVC), formol ethyl acetate concentration (FECT) with subsequent isopycnic centrifugation, and polymerase chain ...

Clinical significance of Blastocystis hominis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989
A total of 19,252 stool specimens from 12,136 patients were examined by direct microscopy and the ethyl acetate-Formalin concentration method during the last 2 years. All liquid specimens and those in which parasite identification was difficult or equivocal were also examined in trichrome-stained preparations. A total of 3,070 intestinal parasites were

Evidence of plasmotomy in Blastocystis hominis

Parasitology Research, 2007
Blastocystis hominis has been regarded as an enigmatic parasite as many aspects of its basic biology remain uncertain. Many reproductive processes have been suggested for the organism; however, to date, only the binary fission has been proven. Plasmotomy is one of the modes of reproduction previously suggested to be seen in in vitro cultures.

Epidemiology and pathogenicity of Blastocystis hominis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990
A prospective study was performed on a large outpatient population to evaluate the epidemiology and pathogenicity of Blastocystis hominis. Patients with stool specimens positive for B. hominis and negative for other bacterial and parasitic pathogens were sent a questionnaire and were requested to submit a follow-up specimen for ova-and-parasite ...

In vivo encystation of Blastocystis hominis

Parasitology Research, 2009
Blastocystis from infected stools of a person who showed chronic symptoms of abdominal discomfort and diarrhea were examined over a 6-month period, using transmission electron microscopy, for the ultrastructural changes from vacuolar to cystic stage. The study confirms the irregular shedding phenomenon of the organism previously reported, and for the ...
