Predominance of Blastocystis sp. subtype 4 in rural communities, Nepal

Parasitology Research, 2011
Blastocystis sp. is a common intestinal parasite. To date, there have been sporadic and scanty studies on Blastocystis sp. carried out in rural communities in Nepal. We surveyed the prevalence of Blastocystis sp. and its possible associated risk factors, and reported the predominant Blastocystis sp.

A survey of Blastocystis sp. in livestock, pets, and zoo animals in Japan

Veterinary Parasitology, 2002
The prevalence of Blastocystis sp. was examined in fecal samples collected from cattle, pigs, dogs, and a variety of zoo animals (primates, carnivores, herbivores, pheasants, and ducks) by direct observation of fresh fecal suspensions or cultured materials, using light microscopy.

Epidemiology and Molecular Characterisation of Blastocystis sp. in Nigeria

Nigerian Journal of Biotechnology and Life Sciences
Blastocystis sp. is a common intestinal protist with global distribution, yet data on its prevalence and genetic diversity in Northern Nigerian communities remain limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and identify the subtypes (STs) of Blastocystis sp. circulating in this region.

Identification and functional analysis of Blastocystis sp. ST2 Cation transporter

Acta Tropica
Blastocystis sp. is a zoonotic protozoan with a broad host range, but its genome remains incompletely annotated, and functional protein characterization is lacking. Cation Diffusion Facilitators (CDFs) regulate the metabolism of metal ions to maintain intracellular metal homeostasis in most bacteria and plants.

Dientamoeba fragilis dominance in IBS and Blastocystis sp. in ulcerative colitis

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease
Intestinal diseases markedly impair quality of life, with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease (CD) representing major functional and inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Dientamoeba fragilis and other intestinal parasites in these conditions and to compare the ...

The distribution and evolution of Blastocystis sp. in mammals and aves

Blastocystis sp. is a unicellular protozoan and one of the most common gastrointestinal eukaryotic parasites in humans and animals. It is distributed worldwide, but its pathogenic role is still controversial. Blastocystis sp.

Blastocystis sp. in human health

This dissertation deals with the study of the intestinal protist Blastocystis sp., whose role in human health and disease is still the subject of much debate. Previously it was considered a pathogen, but today the prevailing opinion is that it could be a commensal that has a beneficial effect on the human gut microbiome.
