Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Blastocystis spp. (BC) often passes as a harmless resident of the gut. However, it may be associated with gastrointestinal disturbances, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. The variation in the clinical spectrum of BC infection is, in part, due to its diverse genotypic profile, where ongoing research continues to discover new BC subtypes. This study aimed at investigating the association between...
