They are characterized by a high genetic diversity with at least 17 subtypes (STs) that have been described on the basis of a 600\u00a0bp \u2018barcoding region\u2019 from the 18S rDNA gene. However, analysis of the recently sequenced genome of a <jats:italic>Blastocystis<\/jats:italic> ST7 isolate (strain B) revealed the presence of multiple variable copies of the 18S rDNA gene, with 17 completely assembled copies. Comparison of the barcoding region from these 17 copies allowed us to classify the 18S rDNA sequences into 6 clusters, each cluster containing identical sequences. Surprisingly, 4 of these clusters had the highest homology with 18S rDNA sequences from 2 other <jats:italic>Blastocystis<\/jats:italic> ST7 isolates referred as QQ98-4 and H. These results suggest that the 18S rDNA gene is not the marker of choice to discriminate between strains within STs. In the present study, we identified a single-copy subtyping rDNA marker in the genome of the mitochondria-like organelles (MLOs). Using a partial sequence of the MLO rDNA, we successfully subtyped 66 isolates from both human and animals belonging to <jats:italic>Blastocystis<\/jats:italic> ST1 to ST10. Our results also indicate that this mitochondrial marker could be useful to detect co-infections by different isolates of a same ST.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182013001996","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,27]],"date-time":"2014-01-27T14:22:23Z","timestamp":1390832543000},"page":"670-681","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Molecular
