Epidemiology of Blastocystis infection from 1990 to 2019 in China

ConclusionsIn recent years, some provinces/regions in China have conducted various molecular epidemiological studies to identify theBlastocystis subtypes. It is important to focus on new subtypes and mixed subtypes of infection, while increasing data on ribosomal alleles. We encourage the scientific community to start research on humans and surrounding animals (including domestic and wild animals) to better understand the possibility ofBlastocystis transmission between humans and animals. We call for action among researchers studying intestinal parasitic diseases (Blastocystis), start drawing the subtype ofBlastocystis and increase the subtype related to its clinical symptoms.
