Blastocystis Mitochondrial Genomes Appear to Show Multiple Independent Gains and Losses of Start and Stop Codons. [PDF]

, 2016
Complete mitochondrion-related organelle (MRO) genomes of several subtypes (STs) of the unicellular stramenopile Blastocystis are presented. Complete conservation of gene content and synteny in gene order is observed across all MRO genomes, comprising 27

Impact of Blastocystis carriage and colonization intensity on gut microbiota composition in a non-westernized rural population from Colombia.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundThe role of Blastocystis, a common intestinal parasitic protist of humans and other animals, in human health and disease remains elusive. Recent studies suggest a connection between Blastocystis colonization, healthier lifestyles, and high ...

Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]

, 1997
The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

Prevalence and Determinants of Intestinal Parasitic Infections Among Diabetes Mellitus Patients at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, North‐Central Ethiopia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Both intestinal parasitic infections and diabetes mellitus are major global health concerns, particularly in developing countries. The compromised immunity of diabetic patients increases their susceptibility to intestinal parasites.

Laboratory characteristics of blastocystis invasion in patients with chronic viral hepatitis

Журнал инфектологии, 2014
Based on the survey results in 1322 patients found that patients with hronic viral hepatitis (CVH) blastocysts are found more often than in the group of individuals without concomitant pathology of the hepatic-biliary system (28.8% vs. 5.5%, respectively)

Immunity Switches and Macrophage Manipulations: Trauma, Ovulation, and Depression as Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation Risks

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Inflammation is the immune system's natural response to initial tuberculosis infection. Tuberculosis bacteria have gained adaptations to manipulate the inflammatory process, sometimes settling into latency and containment in granulomas, ensuring their survival.

Blastocystis Hominis: is IT a Cause of Diarrhea? [PDF]

, 2017
Blastocystis hominis can be found in the fecal sample of both healthy individuals without symptoms and those having gastrointestinal problems. Therefore, the pathogenicity and pathophysiology remain controversial.

Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single‐Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as ‘Non‐Pathogenic’

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

Polymerase chain reaction-based subtype diversity of Blastocystis species isolates obtained from hospitalized patients with blastocystosis

Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2020
Introduction. Blastocystis sp. is a common protozoan parasite that colonizes the intestinal tract of humans and animals and in humans nine subtypes have been described so far.
