Article Synopsis
- A study collected 360 fecal samples from cattle, sheep, and humans at 10 farms in Ilam, Iran, to investigate Blastocystis infection prevalence.
- Results showed a 5.3% infection rate in animals (6% in cattle, 4.7% in sheep) and varied rates among humans with close (16.7%) versus non-close (3.3%) animal contact.
- Genetic analysis revealed four subtypes (ST1-ST3, ST10) in animals and multiple subtypes in humans, suggesting a potential transmission of these pathogens between animal and human populations.
