BLASTOCYSTIS AND OTHER INTESTINAL PARASITES INFECTIONS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN DUKUH VILLAGE, KARANGASEM DISTRICT, BALI

Indonesian Journal of Tropical and Infectious Disease, 2018
Blastocystis spp. is the most common enteric parasitic infection found in several community surveys from developing countries. Blastocystis infections may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, but also cause extraintestinal symptoms such as urticaria and ...

Molecular Detection and Characterization of Blastocystis sp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Cattle in Northern Spain [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences, 2021
Some enteric parasites causing zoonotic diseases in livestock have been poorly studied or even neglected. This is the case in stramenopile Blastocystis sp. and the microsporidia Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Spain. This transversal molecular epidemiological

Prevalence of Blastocystis spp. and Other Gastrointestinal Pathogens Among Patients Admitted to Research Hospitals in Campania Region, Italy

Pathogens
Background. Blastocystis spp. is a common protozoan found in the gastrointestinal tract, typically existing as a non-pathogenic organism in humans and other animals. However, it can become pathogenic when the immune system is compromised due to bacterial,

Location and pathogenic potential of Blastocystis in the porcine intestine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Blastocystis is an ubiquitous, enteric protozoan of humans and many other species. Human infection has been associated with gastrointestinal disease such as irritable bowel syndrome, however, this remains unproven.

A Simple Genotyping Method for Rapid Differentiation of Blastocystis Subtypes and Subtype Distribution of Blastocystis spp. in Thailand

Pathogens, 2019
Blastocystis spp. is one of the most common protozoa of humans and animals worldwide. The genetic diversity of Blastocystis spp. might be associated with a wide range of symptoms.

The Role of Blastocystis spp. in the Etiology of Gastrointestinal and Autoimmune Diseases

Pathogens
Blastocystis spp. has been linked to gastrointestinal symptoms, yet its pathogenicity remains uncertain. In addition, the roles of virulence factors, pathogenic potential, and host-specific traits associated with symptomatic infections are still not well

Treatment failure in patients with chronic Blastocystis infection

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2014
This article reports long-term infection and treatment failure in 18 symptomatic individuals infected with Blastocystis spp. Patients were initially treated with either metronidazole, iodoquinol or triple combination therapy consisting of nitazoxanide, furazolidone and secnidazole.

Molecular Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Blastocystis sp. in Slaughtered Ruminants in Qazvin Province, Iran: A Zoonotic Concern. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
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

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Blastocystis sp. in Humans, Dogs and Cats in Gabon: A One Health Perspective. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Blastocystis sp. is a cosmopolitan protist that colonises the gastrointestinal tract of mammals, including humans, dogs and cats. Although its pathogenicity remains debated, Blastocystis sp. has been linked to gastrointestinal symptoms and alterations in the gut microbiota.
