We published a study on sheep and muskoxen in Greenland but there was so much parasite data to be analysed and discussed that we didn't get around to analysing the 16S data in context of parasite colonisation status despite the data being there already! https://t.co/jpXqNKvEPa

Intesting study from Fu et al. on how calf gut microbiomes differ by type of parasite - the finding is not new, but it is rare that we see such data confirmed by studies of non-human hosts https://t.co/RgHvjtLAGM #parasite #ecology #microbiome #protozoa #gut

1) Relevant to do such studies on larger mammals, which are somewhat comparable to humans in terms of gut microbiome in order to learn more about the role of these parasites in health and disease.

Thank you @ICOPAnhagen for the opportunity of showing our work of #Blastocystis subtyping from Colombia, also thank you @Eukaryotes and David Carmena for organizing this symposium @CIMBIUR @fcn_ur @URinvestigacion @URosario #ICOPAinPhotos

[Dr. Anastasios Tsaousis @ADTsaousis]

Funda @LoungaRacoon is emphasising the need of environmental sampling to investigate the transmission dynamics of #Blastocystis! Two of the paper are from @thai_gut consortium! @CiliateGal @ICOPAnhagen #ICOPAnhagen #ICOPA2022
