Subtype–host patterns and genetic differentiation of Blastocystis sp. in the Philippines

Blastocystis sp. is a gastrointestinal protozoan commonly encountered in humans and animals. Specificity to certain hosts may be associated with 38 known subtypes (STs) and 8 nonmammalian and avian STs (NMASTs).
