Colorectal cancer and Blastocystis sp. infection [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Abstract Background Blastocystis sp. is a common intestinal protozoan found worldwide. Based on gene analysis, 17 subtypes (STs, ST1–ST17) have been identified, 9 of which have been isolated from humans. Differences in clinical consequences may depend on differences among the STs.
