Blastocystis sp.: waterborne zoonotic organism, a possibility?

28 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Blastocystis sp. is a common intestinal parasite found in faecal sample surveys. Several studies have implicated human-to-human, zoonotic and waterborne transmissions by Blastocystis sp. However, there has been no study providing evidence interlinking these three transmissions in a community. We have previously shown a high prevalence of Blastocystis sp. subtype 4 amongst village dwellers in...
