Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitoses in a Non-Endemic Setting during a 10-Year Period (2011-2020): A Focus on Dientamoeba fragilis

Adriana Calderaro et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence and prevalence of intestinal parasites, with a focus on Dientamoeba fragilis, in a hospital in Northern Italy over a 10-year period. The study found that D. fragilis is a common intestinal parasite, especially in foreigners and children. Anal pruritus was the only symptom statistically related to dientamoebiasis. The findings highlight the importance of considering D. fragilis in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases.

First report and genotyping of Dientamoeba fragilis in pet budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus), with zoonotic importance

Gamze Yetismis et al.

Summary: This study provides the first evidence of pet budgerigars as the natural host for D. fragilis and contributes to the knowledge of the epidemiology of this parasite. The high prevalence of genotype 1 of D. fragilis suggests that pet budgerigars may serve as suitable reservoirs for zoonotic transmission.

Investigation of Dientamoeba fragilis and Blastocystis in patients from Turkey with ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome: Any relation with genotypes?

Tugce Unalan-Altintop et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ulcerative colitis (UC) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with Blastocystis sp. and Dientamoeba fragilis. The results showed that D. fragilis was related to older age, but no significant difference was found between patient groups. Additionally, Blastocystis sp. Subtype 3 was detected in some patients. More research is needed to unveil the pathogenicity of both protists.

Summary: This study determined for the first time that cattle are suitable hosts for D. fragilis, and the detected parasite belongs to genotype 1, which is the most common type in humans, suggesting a possible zoonotic character.

Comparison of molecular diagnostic approaches for the detection and differentiation of the intestinal protist Blastocystis sp. in humans

Martina Sloufova et al.

Summary: Blastocystis is a commonly found intestinal protist, and accurate detection and differentiation of its subtypes are crucial for understanding its epidemiology and role in human health. This study compared the sensitivity of different detection methods and found that real-time PCR showed higher positivity rates than conventional PCR, and NGS had higher sensitivity for detecting mixed subtype colonization within one host. The combination of qPCR and NGS can provide valuable information for epidemiological and surveillance studies.

New insights into the interactions between Blastocystis, the gut microbiota, and host immunity

Lei Deng et al.

Summary: Blastocystis plays a significant role in the human gut microbiota, with studies indicating it has correlations with other microbial communities and contributes to maintaining host immunological homeostasis. While recent research suggests Blastocystis may reduce beneficial bacteria, most reports indicate it is a common component of a healthy gut microbiome.

Occurrence of Ten Protozoan Enteric Pathogens in Three Non-Human Primate Populations

Estelle Menu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the prevalence of common human enteric protozoa in non-human primate populations using qPCR detection, with Blastocystis spp. being the most frequently encountered, followed by Balantidium coli, Giardia intestinalis, Encephalitozoon intestinalis, and Dientamoeba fragilis. No detection of other protozoa like Entamoeba histolytica, Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Cryptosporidium parvum, C. hominis, Cyclospora cayetanensis, or Cystoisospora belli was reported.

Investigation of neglected protists Blastocystis sp. and Dientamoeba fragilis in immunocompetent and immunodeficient diarrheal patients using both conventional and molecular methods

Fakhriddin Sarzhanov et al.

Summary: The clinical significance of Blastocystis sp. and Dientamoeba fragilis in gastrointestinal symptoms remains controversial. This study in Turkey aimed to determine the prevalence of these parasites in diarrheic patients, revealing a high prevalence of Blastocystis, with five subtypes identified using next generation sequencing. The study highlights the common presence of Blastocystis and D. fragilis in diarrheic patients in Turkey and the diversity of Blastocystis subtypes.

Blastocystis Colonization Alters the Gut Microbiome and, in Some Cases, Promotes Faster Recovery From Induced Colitis

Vincent Billy et al.

Summary: Protists, such as Blastocystis, are common intestinal eukaryotes that have been reported as pathogens but are more prevalent in healthy individuals and are closely associated with the gut microbiota, potentially playing a protective role. Studies suggest that colonization by Blastocystis may promote faster recovery from intestinal inflammation.

Epidemiology and clinical features of intestinal protozoan infections detected by Real-time PCR in non-native children within an Italian tertiary care children's hospital: A cross-sectional study

Elisabetta Venturini et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of four enteric protozoan species detected by RT-PCR in non-native children in Italy, and to describe their clinical characteristics. The research found that the majority of children tested positive for at least one enteric parasite, with Blastocystis hominis being the most commonly identified protozoa. Around 80% of parasite-positive children were asymptomatic, with flatulence being the most common symptom.
