Resistance of Blastocystis to chlorine and hydrogen peroxide

Ruben Martin-Escolano et al.

Summary: Blastocystis is a genetically diverse protist found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, with at least 28 subtypes identified. The pathogenicity of Blastocystis is controversial, and transmission can occur through fecal-oral and waterborne routes. This study found increased resistance of all Blastocystis subtypes to chlorine and hydrogen peroxide, suggesting the presence of resistance mechanisms. These findings have implications for developing guidelines for water treatment processes.

Identification and Molecular Characterization of Four New Blastocystis Subtypes Designated ST35-ST38

Jenny G. Maloney et al.

Summary: Three recent studies found four novel sequences in mammalian hosts infected with Blastocystis, with B. lapemi as the most similar sequence. However, full-length ssu rRNA gene sequences were not available to confirm the validity of these new subtypes. This study used Nanopore MinION sequencing to obtain full-length reference sequences for each of the new subtypes, and confirmed their validity through phylogenetic analysis and pairwise distance comparisons. The proposed subtype designations for the novel sequences in this study are ST35-ST38, which will aid in future accurate sequence descriptions and studies of Blastocystis epidemiology and subtype diversity.

Molecular characterization of Blastocystis and Entamoeba of muskoxen and sheep in Greenland

Christen Rune Stensvold et al.

Summary: The genetic diversity and host specificity of Blastocystis and Entamoeba in Greenland were studied for the first time. Blastocystis was more common than Entamoeba and both were common colonizers of large herbivorous mammals in Greenland. Multiple subtypes/lineages were observed, including some novel ones.

Association of Blastocystis hominis with colorectal cancer: A systematic review of in vitro and in vivo evidences

Vinoth Kumarasamy et al.

Summary: This systematic review examines the association between colorectal cancer (CRC) and Blastocystis, as well as the prevalence of Blastocystis in CRC patients. The results confirm the presence of Blastocystis in 2%-28% of CRC patients and demonstrate the cytopathic and immunological effects of Blastocystis in in vitro and in vivo studies. The findings suggest that Blastocystis could exacerbate existing CRC through alterations in the host immune response and increased oxidative damage.

An update on the distribution of Blastocystis subtypes in the Americas

Paula Jimenez et al.

Summary: This study provided an update on Blastocystis-positive samples obtained from diverse hosts in the Americas, revealing ST3 as the most common subtype, along with newly identified subtypes ST12, ST13, and ST16 in humans, and ST10, ST14, and ST17 in animals. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the distribution and genetic diversity of Blastocystis in the Americas.

Association of Blastocystis ST6 with higher protease activity among symptomatic subjects

Seyed Ahmad Karamati et al.

Summary: The study indicated a higher protease activity among isolates from symptomatic subjects, suggesting a functional role for proteases in clinical symptoms. However, there was no significant correlation between protease activity of different subtypes and pro-inflammatory biomarker expression levels. The expression patterns of pro-inflammatory biomarkers in cell line also varied based on the presence of symptoms and time points.

First identification and molecular subtyping of Blastocystis sp. in zoo animals in southwestern China

Lei Deng et al.

Summary: The study investigated the prevalence and subtype distribution of Blastocystis sp. in captive wildlife in zoos in Sichuan Province, southwestern China, revealing a high prevalence of infection among the animals, with Panzhihua Zoo having the highest prevalence. Subtype analysis identified nine subtypes, including six zoonotic and three animal-specific subtypes, with ST17 being the predominant subtype in Blastocystis sp.-positive isolates. This study suggests that captive wildlife in zoos may serve as reservoirs for human Blastocystis sp. infections.

Summary: This study aimed to molecularly characterize the presence of Blastocystis in free-ranging black-headed night monkeys in Southeastern Peru. Results showed 13% of samples were Blastocystis positive, sharing high sequence similarity with isolates from other neotropical primates. Analysis of sequences from various neotropical primates revealed 15 monophyletic lineages corresponding to known subtypes.

Summary: The study revealed a significantly higher prevalence of Blastocystis sp. infection in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients compared to the control group, with the odds of infection being fivefold higher in the CRC group. There was no association found between Blastocystis sp. infection and age, sex, or CRC stage, grade, or location.

Mind the Gap: New Full-Length Sequences of Blastocystis Subtypes Generated via Oxford Nanopore Minion Sequencing Allow for Comparisons between Full-Length and Partial Sequences of the Small Subunit of the Ribosomal RNA Gene

Jenny G. Maloney et al.

Summary: This study utilized Oxford Nanopore MinION long-read sequencing to generate full-length SSU rRNA sequences for seven new Blastocystis subtypes. By comparing nucleotide sequences of new and existing subtypes, insights into the genetic complexity of Blastocystis and its host relationships can be gained.
