Development and application of a novel beta-tubulin genotyping tool reveals host-specific transmission cluster in Balantioides coli
14 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Balantioides coli is a zoonotic ciliated protozoan that infects humans and other mammals. Conventional and ITS-based genotyping approaches have limitations that hinder precise molecular epidemiological investigations. The objective of this study was to develop a new β-tubulin gene-based approach to enhance the detection and genotyping of B. coli. We performed single-cell isolation and whole-genome sequencing on...
