Abstract:
Blastocystis is a zoonotic intestinal parasite that can infect a variety of animals,including humans,and can cause symptoms such as diarrhea,abdominal pain,and bloating in both humans and animals.Although blastocystosis is widespread in the world,it has not attracted enough atten-tion,and has been listed as one of the neglected diseases by the World Health Organization.Some subtypes of Blastocystis in cattle belong to zoonotic subtypes,which have the potential risk of cross-species transmission to humans and pose a potential threat to human public health security.Therefore,understanding the prevalence,subtype distribution and diagnostic methods of Blasto-cystis in cattle is of great significance for the prevention and control of blastocystosis.Based on this,this article reviewed the subtype classification,diagnostic methods,epidemic situation and public health significance of Blastocystis in cattle,which provided an important reference for the prevention and control of blastocystosis.
