Abstract: The infectivity of Blastocystis cysts in the experimental mice model was further studied using isolates from human feces. Two groups of Swiss mice were orally infected with purified and concentrated Blastocystis cysts isolated from watery and formed human feces. Mice fecal Blastocystis cyst count by Direct Fecal Smear was performed daily post-inoculation for 10 days. Parasite intestinal shedding was detected as early as 2-3 days. Peak cystic count was observed after 4-7 days and declined thereafter. There was no significant difference in the infectivity of Blastocystis cysts isolated from watery or formed human feces.
