Blastocystis EU COST Action reposted this
I attended a great conference in Crete this week on our COST Project of the ”still-enigmatic protozoan”, Blastocystis. Research findings in the last three decades shifted our understanding of its role in our gut particularly, from an underestimated, neglected pathogen to mostly a firm component of eubiosis (yet still sparing its uncommon pathogenicity to the presence of various contributing factors). New findings contribute to its significance in One Health as well, as it is a common protozoan in not only the humans but also in many animal species and environmental sources like water. Presentations of the young researchers were great and promising in the conference as well👏👏👏 #Blastocystis2024
