Abstract excerpt
Blastocystis is the most prevalent protozoa found in human stool samples. This study aimed to evaluate genetic diversity among Blastocystis subtypes isolated from both symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects as well as the potential correlation between subtypes and symptoms. A total of 55 Blastocystis-positive isolates were included in this study. A barcoding region of the small subunit rDNA was amplified and...
