Bacteria-like endosymbionts in Blastocystis sp

International Journal for Parasitology, 1994
Bacteria-like endosymbionts were found in vacuolar cells and cysts of Blastocystis sp. from duck and monkey faecal material. The organisms ultrastructurally resembled Gram-negative bacilli, and were present in the nucleus of Blastocystis sp. from the duck and in the cytoplasm of Blastocystis sp. from the monkey.

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.

Detection of Blastocystis sp. in pigs in Aragon (Spain)

Veterinary Parasitology, 1995
Infection by Blastocystis sp. has been detected for the first time in pigs in Spain. Detection was carried out by the ethyl acetate-formalin concentration method and direct microscopy. Vacuolated cells of Blastocystis sp. were found in stool samples from 27 of 360 pigs examined (7.5%).

Detection of Blastocystis sp. in domestic dogs and cats

Veterinary Parasitology, 1998
Blastocystis sp. was detected in faecal samples from domestic dogs and cats in Brisbane, Australia. The prevalence rates were high, with 70.8% of the dogs and 67.3% of the cats infected with this organism. Blastocystis sp. from faecal material from two dogs was successfully cultured on inspissated egg slant medium for several months, but could not be ...

Morphology of Blastocystis sp. isolated from circus animals

International Journal for Parasitology, 1993
Blastocystis sp. is reported for the first time from faecal samples collected from a camel, a llama, a highland bull and a lion in a travelling circus. Fresh faecal specimens were examined by light and electron microscopy, and vacuolar and cyst forms of similar morphology were present in all three ungulates.

BLASTOCYSTISSP. ANDBLASTOCYSTIS RATTIIN A BRAZILIAN PORCUPINE (COENDOU PREHENSILIS) WITH DIARRHEA

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2016
A hand-raised, 5-mo-old, intact male Brazilian porcupine (Coendou prehensilis) was evaluated for chronic diarrhea, failure to thrive, and anorexia. On presentation the porcupette was dull, dehydrated, and passing yellow, malodourous, watery diarrhea. Cytologic examination of feces revealed a large number of organisms, morphologically consistent with ...

Blastocystis sp. Subtype 5: A Possibly Zoonotic Genotype

Parasitology Research, 2007
Blastocystis has a widespread distribution in a variety of animals, which is a potential source of infection for humans. Previous studies show that Blastocystis sp. subtypes 1-4, 6, and 7 were composed of isolates from humans and animals, while Blastocystis sp. subtype 5 included only pig and cattle isolates. A more recent study on the basis of the SSU

First identification of Blastocystis sp. subtypes in Rex rabbits in China

Parasitology Research, 2023
Blastocystis sp. is a common protist that colonizes the intestinal tract in both humans and animals worldwide. A total of 666 fecal samples of Rex rabbits were collected from 12 farms in three administrative regions in Henan, China. Blastocystis sp. was screened and subtyped by PCR amplification of the small subunit ribosomal DNA. The results indicated

The role and influence of bacteria on the growth of Blastocystis sp. subtype 3

Parasitology Research, 2023
Blastocystis sp. is an enteric protistan parasite that affects individuals worldwide with gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and flatulence. However, its pathogenicity is controversial due to its presence among asymptomatic individuals. Blastocystis sp.

Development of metronidazole-resistant lines of Blastocystis sp.

Parasitology Research, 2012
Metronidazole (MTR) is frequently used for the treatment of Blastocystis infections, but with variable effectiveness, and often with treatment failures as a possible result of drug resistance. We have developed two Blastocystis MTR-resistant (MTR(R)) subtype 4 WR1 lines (WR1-M4 and WR1-M5), with variable susceptibility to a panel of anti-protozoal ...
