Resumen:
The occurrence and molecular diversity of the stramenopile eukaryote Blastocystis sp. was investigated by PCR and sequencing (Sanger and NGS) methods in 380 faecal specimens of free-living carnivores in Spain. Blastocystis sp.
was confirmed in 1.6% (6/380) of the specimens analysed. Two samples from
a common genet and a fox were successfully subtyped as ST7 by Sanger.
Using NGS, ST14 was found in a fox and a European polecat, ST7 in a fox,
and two additional foxes presented mixed infections of ST1/ST2/ST4 and ST1/
ST2/ST7, respectively. Wild carnivore species could act as carriers of zoonotic
Blastocystis subtypes.
