Journal ArticleDOI
Fecal-oral transmission of the cyst form of Blastocystis hominis in rats
TL;DR: The results show that the Wistar rat is an ideal host for the propagation of strains RN94-9 and NIH:1295:1 of B. hominis, and demonstrate that the cyst form is the only transmissible form of this parasite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectivity of different genotypes of human Blastocystis hominis isolates in chickens and rats.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that several genotypes from human isolates could infect chickens and/or rats, indicating that chickens and rats are suitable experimental animal models for studying the zoonotic potential of human Blastocystis isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectivity of Blastocystis isolates from chickens, quails and geese in chickens
TL;DR: Results show that the transmission of Blastocystis infection occurs easily between the same or different bird species, and the proposal of new BlastocyStis species on the basis of different avian host species is problematic.
