Molecular characterization of Blastocystis and Entamoeba of muskoxen and sheep in Greenland

In conclusion, Blastocystis was far more common than Entamoeba and found in approximately three of every four animals; both can be considered common colonisers of large herbivorous mammals in Greenland. Multiple subtypes/lineages of both genera were commonly observed, some of which were novel, but most of which are seen in many other parts of the world.PMID:37355198 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijpara.2023.05.005
