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

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
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
