Blastocystis spp infections in clinical practice
Pathogenic properties of Blastocystis spp. - widespread of this protozoan organism remains debatable. Data on clinical observations demonstrating that the manifest forms of invasive Blastocystis spp . can occur from mild diarrhea, dysentery-like, to severe ulcer-necrotizing bowel perforation with complications and poor prognosis.

Molecular Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Blastocystis sp. in Slaughtered Ruminants in Qazvin Province, Iran: A Zoonotic Concern. [PDF]
Moderate prevalence of Blastocystis sp. was detected in cattle, sheep and goats (22.5%) in Qazvin Province. Diverse STs (ST1, ST5, ST7, ST10, ST14) were identified, including both ruminant‐adapted and common human‐associated STs. Females showed higher infection rates than males, highlighting potential host‐related risk factors. Presence of zoonotic STs
