Because of this, in 2007 scientists proposed discontinuing the use of the term " Blastocystis hominis ."
3.
Rifaximin, and albendazole have shown promise as has ivermectin which demonstrated high effectiveness against blastocystis hominis isolates in an in vitro study.
4.
Research performed since then has shown that the concept of " Blastocystis hominis " as a unique species of " Blastocystis " infecting humans is not supported by microbiological findings.
5.
Researchers have suggested conflicting reports may be due to the practice of naming all " Blastocystis " from humans " Blastocystis hominis " and have proposed discontinuing the use of that term.
6.
In recent years, various genetic analysis have shown that " Blastocystis hominis " as a unique entity does not exist, i . e . there is no " single " species of " Blastocystis " that infects humans.
7.
At the time, it was common practice to identify all " Blastocystis " from humans as " Blastocystis hominis ", while " Blastocystis " from animals was identified differently ( e . g . " Blastocystis ratti " from rats ).
8.
Isolates of the human parasite " Blastocystis hominis " were observed to begin such a process within 4 to 6 days . Cells of the fish parasite " Trypanoplasma borreli " have also been observed participating in both binary and multiple fission.
9.
Although the role of " Blastocystis hominis " in human disease is often referred to as controversial, a systematic survey of research studies conducted by 11 infectious disease specialists from nine countries, found that over 95 % of papers published in the last 10 years identified it as causing illness in immunocompetent individuals.
10.
Protozoal infections can cause symptoms that mirror specific IBS subtypes, e . g ., infection by certain substypes of " blastocystis hominis " ( blastocystosis ) has a significant ( possibly causal ) relationship with IBS-D; certain protozoal infections also occur more frequently in IBS patients . " Dientamoeba fragilis " has also been considered a possible organism to study, though it is also found in people without IBS.
