Evaluation of association with subtypes and alleles of Blastocystis with chronic spontaneous urticaria

Mehmet Aykur et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Blastocystis subtypes and alleles in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). The presence of Blastocystis was found to be significantly higher in CSU patients compared to the control group, and allele 34 of ST3 was associated with CSU. Additionally, a significant association was found between total IgE value and certain subtypes (ST2 and ST3).

Investigation of Isolated Blastocystis Subtypes from Cancer Patients in Turkey

Sefa Mulayim et al.

Summary: The study found that the prevalence of Blastocystis in cancer patients was 14.4%, with no significant clinical symptoms or demographic differences. This suggests that Blastocystis may be an asymptomatic and harmless commensal organism in this population, but further research is needed to fully understand its pathogenicity and epidemiology.

Evolutionary and phylogenetic analyses of the barcoding region suggest geographical relationships among Blastocystis sp., ST3 in humans

Sara Nemati et al.

Summary: Blastocystis sp. has 21 distinct subtypes with ST3 being the most prevalent. This study analyzed global variations of ST3, revealing differences in allele diversity among continents and high genetic differentiation between Asia and other continents. The findings suggest two major clusters of Blastocystis sp. ST3, one shared between Europe, Africa, and America, and another restricted to Asia.

Next-generation sequencing reveals wide genetic diversity of Blastocystis subtypes in chickens including potentially zoonotic subtypes

Jenny G. Maloney et al.

Summary: This study found a high prevalence of Blastocystis in chickens, with the majority of identified subtypes being similar to those found in humans. This suggests a potential risk of human infection and environmental contamination from chickens.

Epidemiology and subtype distribution of Blastocystis in humans: A review

Supaluk Popruk et al.

Summary: Blastocystis is commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, with uncertain pathogenicity. ST1 is associated with asymptomatic infection, while ST4 is associated with symptomatic infection. Further research is needed to explore the potential pathogenicity and possible associations.
