Blastocystis hominis is a parasite that parasitizes in the intestines of humans and animals, and is closely related to a variety of gastrointestinal diseases such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. B. hominis is distributed worldwide, and the prevalence of B. hominis infections and dominant subgenotypes vary in countries and in regions from the same country. This paper reviews the global prevalence of B. hominis human infections, its subtypes and geographical distribution, so as to provide insights into the understanding of the global epidemiology of B. hominis and the management of B. hominis infections.
［摘要］ 人芽囊原虫 (Blastocystis hominis) 是一种寄生于人和动物肠道内且与多种胃肠道疾病 (如腹痛、腹泻) 密切相关 的寄生虫。人芽囊原虫呈世界性分布, 不同国家间甚至同一国家不同地区间流行率和优势基因亚型差异显著。本文对 全球人群人芽囊原虫感染率、基因亚型及其地理分布进行综述, 旨在为了解人芽囊原虫在全球流行情况和防控人芽囊原 虫感染提供参考。.
