Culture and microscopic examination of fecal samples is the conventional method for identifying four major forms of Blastocystis (vacuolar, granular, non-vacuolar or cystic). In this article, we compared eight liquid media for cultivation of Blastocystis spp. Study material included fecal samples from clinically healthy pigs. Significant differences in the growth of Blastocystis on individual media were observed.}, type={Short communication}, title={Suitability of selected culture media for Blastocystis spp.}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/109585/PDF/21.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2018.125593}, keywords={Blastocystis spp., in vitro culture, zoonosis, Jone’s medium}, }
