DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.993312
Abstract: Blastocystis sp. is the most isolated enteric protozoan in parasitological surveys of humans. A substantial percentage of human infections is attributed to zoonotic transmissions. However, the contribution of each animal source to human infections with… read more here.
