Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Epidemiology of Human Blastocystis spp. Infection in Malaysia [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Blastocystis spp. is a unicellular enteric protozoan parasite in humans with a controversial role in disease etiology. It is common in developing countries among immunocompromised patients and people who have close contact with animals. In this study, we

Molecular epidemiology of Blastocystis infections in Turkey

Parasitology International, 2008
Blastocystis is a very common unicellular intestinal parasite of ubiquitous occurrence. In order to describe the molecular epidemiology of Blastocystis infections in Turkey, 87 isolates from 69 symptomatic and 18 asymptomatic individuals were sequenced.

Blastocystis hominis Infection and Intestinal Injury

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1994
Blastocystis hominis is an enteric protozoan associated with clinical illness. To determine the prevalence of intestinal injury in patients with B. hominis infection, the authors prospectively evaluated 18 patients with B. hominis infection by endoscopy and a test of intestinal permeability. Seventeen patients had gastrointestinal symptoms.

Invasive Blastocystis hominis Infection in a Child

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1994
The association of Blastocystis hominis with human disease is controversial. Many studies 1-9 have reported its association with gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and weight loss. Other reports 10,11 doubt its clinical pathogenicity. To our knowledge, invasive B hominis has not been found in humans.

Blastocystis sp. infections in pigs

Veterinary Microbiology, 1979
Abstract A species of Blastocytis has been identified and isolated from pigs in England. A limited survey was carried out, which showed that the organism was present on each of five pig farms visited in Berkshire and East Anglia. Sixty percent of pigs sampled harboured Blastocystis , though usually in low numbers.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Blastocystis horninis Infection in Children

Clinical Pediatrics, 1993
Blastocystis hominis, a protozoan whose pathogenicity has been questioned, is sometimes found in the human gastrointestinal tract. We sought to determine the prevalence of Blastocystis in stool and to characterize clinical features of infection with Blastocystis in children.

Blastocystis hominis est un organisme commun de la flore intestinale de l’homme, du singe et du cobaye. D’abord considere comme une levure, puis comme une algue, il est actuellement classe parmi les protozoaires. Les enfants sont souvent porteurs de parasites intestinaux, dans les pays en voie de developpement en particulier dans les collectivites et ...

A survey of Blastocystis infection in anuran and urodele amphibians

Veterinary Parasitology, 2004
Blastocystis infection in amphibians was surveyed in three species of anuran and one species of urodele amphibians captured at two distinct locations in Japan. All three species of frogs were highly infected with Blastocystis, while 69 individual urodele newts, Cynopus pyrrhogaster, were negative for infection. Eleven Blastocystis isolates (47.8%) were

First report of Blastocystis infections in cattle in China

Veterinary Parasitology, 2017
Blastocystis is one of the most common intestinal protists of humans and can also infect a variety of other mammals and birds. Blastocystis infections and subtype distribution in cattle have been documented, while nothing is known about those in China.
