Blastocystis hominis, a parasite of the human intestine, has recently been positioned within stramenopiles by the small subunit rRNA phylogeny. To further confirm its phylogenetic position using...
Genomic Analysis of Blastocystis hominis Strains Isolated from Two Long-Term Health Care Facilities
Yoshikawa, Hisao, Abe, Niichiro, Iwasawa, Mizue, Kitano, Syoko, Nagano, Isao, Wu, Zhiliang, ...
The genotype Blastocystis hominis is highly polymorphic. Therefore, a genetic marker would be a powerful tool for the identification or classification of B. hominis subtypes and could be used as a...
