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.

Population structure, intergroup interaction, and human contact govern infectious disease impacts in mountain gorilla populations

Christopher A. Whittier et al.

Summary: Infectious zoonotic diseases pose a threat to wildlife conservation and global health, especially for wild apes like the endangered mountain gorillas in the Virunga Massif. Human contact can increase disease spread and potentially lead to widespread outbreaks in gorilla populations. Models show that social structures and limited group interactions play key roles in preventing population-level disease outbreaks, but even moderate human contact can facilitate disease transmission and outbreaks.

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).

Blastocystis in domesticated and wild mammals and birds

Josephine S. Y. Hublin et al.

Summary: Blastocystis is a common parasite infecting a wide range of vertebrate hosts, with animal infections potentially playing a role in the epidemiology of the parasite. Detection of Blastocystis in water sources and fresh produce suggests the potential for transmission through these routes, highlighting the importance of studying taxonomy, epidemiology, zoonotic potential, and public health implications of this parasite.

Occurrence and molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, Enterocytozoon bieneusi, and Blastocystis sp. in captive wild animals in zoos in Henan, China

Kaihui Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found a high prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, Enterocytozoon bieneusi, and Blastocystis sp. in captive wild animals in zoos in Henan, China, with a variety of species and genotypes identified. These results suggest that animals in zoos can serve as common sources of infection for these zoonotic pathogens, potentially leading to human infections.

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.

High-elevational occurrence of two tick species, Ixodes ricinus and I. trianguliceps, at their northern distribution range

Nicolas De Pelsmaeker et al.

Summary: This study investigated the altitudinal distribution of two tick species in Norway, finding an expansion in their range up to 1000 meters above sea level. The endophilic tick I. trianguliceps appeared to be more adapted to higher altitudes compared to the exophilic I. ricinus. With warming temperatures, the risk of tick-borne infections is likely to increase at higher altitudes in the future.

Feeding sites promoting wildlife-related tourism might highly expose the endangered Yunnan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) to parasite transmission

Eve Afonso et al.

Summary: The implementation of feeding sites for wildlife-related tourism may have negative impacts on animal health and behavior by promoting parasite transmission. In the case of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys, provisioning has led to genetic differentiation within the group. Regular screenings for pathogens in fed subgroup are necessary to monitor transmission risk and maintain a balance between economic development and conservation efforts.

Summary: The study investigated the prevalence and subtypes of Blastocystis in wild animals in Sichuan Wolong National Natural Reserve to assess the potential zoonotic transmission. A total of 300 fecal samples from 27 wildlife species were collected, with 10.0% of samples testing positive for Blastocystis.
