Variable geographic distribution of Blastocystis subtypes and its potential implications.
Blastocystis is a common intestinal micro-eukaryote found in both humans and non-human hosts and known to be genetically very diverse. It has been divided into numerous subtypes (STs), nine of which have been identified in humans to date. Surveys of ST prevalence have started to emerge over the past few years but to date no data are available for any African country except Egypt and Tanzania. I...
متن کاملsubtypes distribution and frequency of blastocystis sp. isolated from diarrheic and non-diarrheic patients
background: blastocystis is one of the most common parasites, reported from both human and animals. this parasite is more prevalent in regions with low levels of hygiene, close contact with animal and unsuitable disposal systems. the aim of the study was to subtype blastocystis sp., isolated from diarrheic and non-diarrheic patients using sequencing of 18s ribosomal dna. methods: totally, 300 s...
متن کاملConsensus Molecular Subtypes of Colorectal Cancer and their Clinical Implications
The colorectal cancer (CRC) subtyping consortium has unified six independent molecular classification systems, based on gene expression data, into a single consensus system with four distinct groups, known as the consensus molecular subtypes (CMS); clinical implications are discussed in this review based on articles relevant to the CMS of CRC indexed in PubMed as well as the authors’ own ...
متن کاملDiversity of Blastocystis Subtypes in Humans
lastocystis is a widespread parasite which is highly prevalent in humans and many animal hosts in developing countries. It is transmitted mainly by a fecal-oral route. Blastocystis infections are more common in low-income communities, crowded conditions, and places with poor hygiene and sanitation. Currently, 13 or more subtypes (STs) have been identified in humans and animals based on characte...
