Molecular characterization and identification of Blastocystis and its subtypes from raccoon (Procyon lotor) in north of Iran.

abstract：:Among the topics related to invasion science, the least studied are parasite co-introduction and spillback. This leads to an uncertainty in invasion ecology theories and applications to management. Therefore, the present study brings a systematic review of published information on the metazoan parasite fauna of Microp...
