Abstract excerpt
To study the genetic diversity and cross-transmissibility of Blastocystis species in naturally infected hosts, 12 Blastocystis isolates from animal and human hosts in the Philippines were analyzed by sequencing the full-length small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes. Each sequence showed very high similarity (from 97% to 100%) to homologous sequences of other Blastocystis isolates reported previously....
