Morphological and growth profile study of blastocystis spp. from stool sample of cattles

Blastocystis sp. is protozoan parasites that can cause gastrointestinal disorder in human and animal. The study on Blastocystis sp. is rising due to lack of standardized diagnosis and possibility of harmful strains of the organisms (Barua et al., 2015). In Malaysia, the study on cattle was limited....

The study on Blastocystis sp. is rising due to lack of standardized diagnosis and possibility of harmful strains of the organisms (Barua et al., 2015). In Malaysia, the study on cattle was limited.

The highest numbers of cyst (26.16 x 104 cells ± 5.44) were observed on day 2, whereas vacuolar (17.8 x 104 cells ± 1.72), granular (0.88 x 104 cells ± 0.70) and amoeboid forms (1.92 x 104 cells ±0.76) on day 6.
