Blastocystis: To Treat or Not to Treat... [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2011 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 human stool specimens. An emerging literature suggests that the pathogenicity of Blastocystis is related to specific subtypes and parasite burden, although even individuals with small

Blastocystis hominis revisited [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1996 Blastocystis hominis is a unicellular organism found commonly in the intestinal tract of humans and many other animals. Very little is known of the basic biology of the organism, and controversy surrounds its taxonomy and pathogenicity. There morphological forms (vacuolar, granular, and ameboid) have been recognized, but recent studies have revealed ...

Lipid Accumulation in Blastocystis Increases Cell Damage in Co-Cultured Cells
Microorganisms, 2023 Blastocystis hominis is an intestinal protozoan that is often neglected, despite causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. Previous research has demonstrated that lipids can be synthesized by B.
