Blastocystosis refers to a medical condition caused by infection with Blastocystis. Blastocystis is a protozoal, single-celled parasite that inhabits the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and other animals.
Blastocystis hominis is a single-celled eukaryotic organism that inhabits the gastrointestinal tract of humans and various animals. [1] This stramenopile exhibits significant genetic diversity and has become an organism of increasing scientific interest due to its widespread distribution and controversial role in human health.

Dogs and humans frequently acquire blastomycosis from the same exposure event. [15] In most such cases, the infection in the dog becomes apparent before the human infection. [15] This may be due to a shortened incubation period, caused by the dog inhaling larger quantities of Blastomyces spores than the human. [15]
Human-driven climate change is shifting rain patterns, increasing drought in some regions — an environment that favors fungi including Coccidioides, which causes Valley fever — while causing ...

Protozoan infections are responsible for diseases that affect many different types of organisms, including plants, animals, and some marine life. Many of the most prevalent and deadly human diseases are caused by a protozoan infection, including African sleeping sickness, amoebic dysentery, and malaria.
