This study revealed the high rate of Blastocystis colonisation in laboratory rats, posing a risk for human transmission. The comparison of obese and non-obese groups supported the idea that Blastocystis might be an indicator of healthy gut flora. The detection of ST4 in all rats agreed with previous reports of the predominance of this subtype in rodents.
