Zoonotic genotypes of Blastocystis hominis detected in cattle and pigs by PCR with diagnostic primers and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene.

Abstract excerpt

Twenty two Blastocystis isolates from cattle and pigs were genotyped by PCR using diagnostic primers, and the homology among isolates was then confirmed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene. Two distinct genotypes, subtypes 1 and 3, were detected in one and two of the ten isolates from cattle, and three and one of the 12 isolates from pigs,...
