Clinical significance of Blastocystis hominis
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989A 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

Epidemiology and pathogenicity of Blastocystis hominis
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990A 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, 2009Blastocystis 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 ...

Blastocystis hominis: Axenic cultivation
Experimental Parasitology, 1974Abstract Blastocystis hominis, an intestinal parasite of humans, had been previously grown only with benefit of a bacterial flora. Bacteria were eliminated in the presence of 4000 μg/ml of ampicillin and 1000 μg/ml of streptomycin. Amphotericin B (50 μg/ml) was added only to eliminate yeasts or filamentous fungi.

Postcystic development of Blastocystis hominis
Parasitology Research, 1999A concentrated suspension of Blastocystis hominis cysts was inoculated into Jones' medium and removed after 24 h for study of their development at the ultrastructural level. The parasite divides in the cyst, and up to three daughter cells can be seen. During this process the cyst wall dissolves, leaving behind thin membranous remnants.

Protease activity of Blastocystis hominis
Parasitology Research, 2006Parasite-derived proteases are important for the parasite life cycle and the pathogenesis of the disease they produce. Proteases of intestinal protozoan parasite Blastocystis hominis were studied for the first time with azocasein assays and gelatin SDS-PAGE analysis. Parasitic lysates were found to have high protease activity and nine protease bands of

Endocytosis in cultures of Blastocystis hominis
International Journal for Parasitology, 1989A study of the function of the electron-dense pits in the vacuolar and granular forms of Blastocystis hominis was undertaken. Immuno-electron microscopy using anti-clathrin antibody and colloidal gold demonstrated clathrin to be associated with all forms of the pits and some cytoplasmic vesicles.

Irregular shedding of Blastocystis hominis
Parasitology Research, 1999The shedding pattern of the protozoan parasite, Blastocystis hominis, is investigated in man and in experimental animal infections. The shedding pattern of the vacuolar and cystic forms of Blastocystis hominis in infected individuals have been shown in the present study to be irregular.

Studies of Blastocystis hominis
The Journal of Protozoology, 1973SYNOPSISBlastocystis hominis, grown in Boeck‐Drbohlav culture medium, modified by the omission of rice starch and the addition of 20% human serum and mineral oil cover to the Locke's solution overlay, can assume 3 morphologic forms. In the absence of human serum the vacuolated form, which divides by binary fission predominates.
