Echinococcosis Is Associated with the Increased Prevalence of Intestinal <i>Blastocystis</i> Infection in Tibetans and Host Susceptibility to the <i>Blastocystis</i> in Mice

Echinococcosis Is Associated with the Increased Prevalence of Intestinal <i>Blastocystis</i> Infection in Tibetans and Host Susceptibility to the <i>Blastocystis</i> in Mice

<i>Blastocystis</i> is a common human intestinal protozoan parasite. Little is known about its prevalence in echinococcosis. This study tested whether <i>Echinococcus multilocularis</i> infection would increase host susceptibility to <i>Blastocystis</i>. A total o...
