Blastocystis hominis

[dimitrovb]

Blastocystis are a genus of micro-organisms and are called blastocystis hominis when they're found in humans.
Infection with them would lead to diarrhoea, bloating, itching as well as other symptoms. What the symptoms might show, these micro-organisms are found in the gastro-intestinal tract and are transmitted in fecal-oral way (e.g. contaminated water).
The interesting part about them is that it is very likely for a host of blastocystis not to show any symptoms.
