Infection2
  • However, Blastocystis has never fulfilled Koch's postulate that infection of a healthy individual with Blastocystis leads to disease. (wikipedia.org)

Humans4
  • Blastocystis has low host specificity, and many different species of Blastocystis can infect humans, and by current convention, any of these species would be identified as Blastocystis hominis. (wikipedia.org)

(who.int)
  • Most published studies have reported that between 50% and 80% of individuals mono-infected with Blastocystis will show symptoms. (wikipedia.org)
  • Whether this organism should be considered a pathogen is currently under debate, and an indication exists that B hominis burden and clinical symptoms may be related. (medscape.com)
