Today is #InternationalBlastocystisDay. Blastocystis colonises at least 1 billion people, yet its role in health and disease is still unclear. COST Action CA21105 brings human, animal & environmental research together. blastocystis-cost.com/ #OneHealth

🎧Have you listened to the latest episode of Microbe Talk yet? Last month, Anastasios and Varol joined us to discuss what we know so far about the mysterious protist, Blastocystis. Click here to listen on Apple, or get it wherever you get your podcast🔗 microb.io/4ewLawX

Podcast on #Blastocystis by the leads of our COST Action
🔍It's the most abundant eukaryotic microbe in humans… But what role does it play?
Listen in to this month's Microbe Talk as Lilly chats with @ADTsaousis and Dr Varol Tunali to talk about what the evidence is actually uncovering about Blastocystis🔗 microb.io/4hEiYt3

🔬🌍 Happy #InternationalMicroorganismDay!
Today we celebrate the incredible microbial world and the huge questions hiding within it.
For me, one fascinating example is Blastocystis 🦠💚
Small organism. Big questions. #OneHealth

1/ 🦐 New preprint: what shapes the gut microbiome of farmed decapods — the host, or the water it lives in?
We went back to the raw reads from 24 public BioProjects: 698 gut samples, 10 species, one harmonised pipeline.

13 years today at the @UniKent! 🎉
It’s been an incredible journey of research, teaching, mentoring, collaborations, and more deadlines (and coffee!) than I can count.
My biggest thank you goes to my amazing lab @TsaousisLab ! …/2

Yesterday, along with my @TsaousisLab, @AgrosBiome and the Quex research team we visited the farm where we are going to establish new feeding trials for the cows ll! Pilot study starting in Autumn this year, so do stay tuned!

Our commentary on the role of #Blastocystis and #Urticaria:
We argue for better evidence: longitudinal sampling, quantitative detection, subtype/allele resolution, validated urticaria outcomes, and clearance-linked clinical endpoints.

Happy to share our latest review in @ACS_Infectious on #Leishmania, Beyond the Sand Fly and the Macrophage.
We argue that tackling #leishmaniasis requires a deeper understanding of parasite biology, persistence, and host-vector interactions.

Many thanks to the @MicrobioSocfor inviting me to speak at #microbio26 in Belfast (Ireland), where I discussed #Blastocystis and its role in health and "disease" through the pioneering work we are developing in our @TsaousisLab, with support from the @BlastocystisC Action.

Last week our Action was at the Institute of Parasitology at part of the #Blastocystis genomics training school! Many thanks to the organisers and attendees for making this possible! @COSTprogramme #genomics #sciencewithoutborders

We have put together this commentary not to criticise any work but to highlight that is necessary to ensure that proper research is done on #Blastocystis! Spread the word!

Our #OneHealth survey of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in rural Adana, Türkiye identified known zoonotic genotypes and two novel ITS genotypes in livestock.
New contribution to understanding parasite transmission across the human-animal-environment interface.
