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

Role of microbiota in pain: From bench to bedside

iMetaOmics, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2025.
Pain is closely linked to microbes. The microbiota modulates pain perception through three mechanisms: microbiota‐derived metabolites, immunoregulation, and direct stimulation on neurons. Therapeutic strategies like probiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and dietary changes show significant potential in pain management.
