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

Protease activity of Blastocystis hominis

Parasitology Research, 2006
Parasite-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

Postcystic development of Blastocystis hominis

Parasitology Research, 1999
A 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.

Irregular shedding of Blastocystis hominis

Parasitology Research, 1999
The 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, 1973
SYNOPSISBlastocystis 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.

Endocytosis in cultures of Blastocystis hominis

International Journal for Parasitology, 1989
A 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.

Blastocystis hominis: Epidemiology and Natural History

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1990
To study the demographic profile of Blastocystis hominis carriers from Hamilton, Canada, the Regional Parasitology Laboratory records for 1988 were reviewed, and a prospective study on carriers was conducted to clarify the natural history of the infection and ascertain the role of B. hominis as an intestinal pathogen.

Blastocystis hominis infection

2010
Blastocystis hominis is an anaerobic unicellular non-invasive colonic parasite of animals and humans. It is transmitted faeco-orally, with human infection associated with travel, institutions, animal handlers and immunodeficiency. Case reports strongly suggest that it causes a self-limited diarrhoeal illness.
