However, research on\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Blastocystis<\/jats:italic>\n                    infections in minks (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Neovison vison<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and raccoon dogs (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Nyctereutes procyonoides<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) is limited.

We examined 275 minks (89 from Hebei Province, 57 from Heilongjiang Province, 109 from Liaoning Province, and 20 from Shandong Province) and 235 raccoon dogs (114 from Hebei Province, 27 from Heilongjiang Province, 61 from Liaoning Province, and 33 from Jilin Province). The overall infection rate was 13.5% (69\/510). Farmed minks had a prevalence of 1.5% (4\/275), while raccoon dogs showed a significantly higher prevalence of 27.7% (65\/235). We identified five distinct subtypes (ST1, ST2, ST3, ST5, and potentially novel subtype) across both species: ST1 (15 cases), ST2 (15 cases), ST3 (31 cases), ST5 (7 cases), and potentially novel subtype (1 case). This study is the first to report ST1 and ST3 in minks and ST1, ST2, ST5, and potentially novel subtype in raccoon dogs. As ST1, ST2, ST3, and ST5 subtypes are also found in humans, our findings suggest that minks and raccoon dogs may serve as potential reservoirs for human\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Blastocystis<\/jats:italic>\n                    infections.
