First report of Blastocystis sp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in raptors
These findings suggest that raptors may be potential transmitters of <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. and <i>E. bieneusi</i> to humans and other animals, as well as sources of water contamination. This study fills a gap in the research on <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. and <i>E. bieneusi</i> in raptors and is important for public health safety.
