Blastocystis in the faeces of children from six distant countries: prevalence, quantity, subtypes and the relation to the gut bacteriome

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Blastocystis is a human gut symbiont of yet undefined clinical significance. In a set of faecal samples collected from asymptomatic children of six distant populations, we first assessed the community profiles of protist 18S rDNA and then ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 23: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Molecular Identification of the Nematode Eustrongylides ignotus in Mandarin Fish, Siniperca chuatsi

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a high‐value economic freshwater fish in China; however, the frequent occurrence of diseases threatens its production. To this end, we explored the impact of a nematode parasite newly found in the abdomen of mandarin fish collected from Pudong, Shanghai, China.

Detection of Microbial Contaminants in Water: Conventional Methods, Pragmatic Alternatives, and Nanosensing Techniques

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Conventional culture and immunological methods of detecting bacterial water contaminants have some limitations. There are alternative pragmatic methods which are more efficient and faster in the detection of bacteria in water, especially nanosensors. ABSTRACT The complexities of microbial detection and conventional enumeration necessitates the adoption
