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’

open access: yesAPMIS, 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

Multiparasitism in Spain in a Korean Visiting Friends and Relatives: Case Report and Review of Imported Cases of Clonorchis sinensis in Europe

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT We report a case of imported Clonorchis sinensis infection under the modality of “visiting friends and relatives.” Clonorchis was not diagnosed initially, and a second stool sample was necessary. It is important that health personnel collect detailed information from the patient and be trained in parasitological diagnosis of imported ...

Blastocystis Sp: a Neglected Zoonotic Protozoan [PDF]

open access: yes
The significance of Blastocystis as a cause of human and animal disease remains unknown. It has been suggested that the organism is zoonotic. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of Blastocystis sp in stray dogs, which may be ...

Comprehensive Tools for Culturing Blastocystis: A Standardized Resource for Research and Diagnostics

open access: yesCurrent Protocols, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Blastocystis spp. is a widely prevalent anaerobic protozoan of uncertain pathogenicity found in the gastrointestinal tracts of over 1 billion people worldwide. Despite its potential significance in health and disease, Blastocystis spp. remains challenging to culture axenically due to its anaerobic nature and the diversity of its genetic ...
