The infection was higher among females 62.5% than to males 37.5%, while the positive result was higher in the age group less than two years 75%, the highest percentage occur with patient whose mothers were incomplete primary and primary education was reached 37.5% and 25%; respectively and the study showed the highest percentage was with those who kept animals at homes was 75%. \nConclusions: According to the genetic analysis of the sequence of eight samples that were positive for Blastocystis hominis parasite using the conventional polymerase chain reaction and they were back to the subtypes 3.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.36740\/wlek202212102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]],"date-time":"2023-02-01T17:34:21Z","timestamp":1675272861000},"page":"2901-2906","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["MOLECULAR STUDY OF BLASTOCYSTIS HOMINIS ISOLATED FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS OF DIYALA GOVERNORATE"],"prefix":"10.36740","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Zainab Naseef","family":"Jassim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY, COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, UNIVERSITY OF DIYALA, BAQUBAH, IRAQ"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed J.","family":"Shakir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY, COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, UNIVERSITY OF DIYALA, BAQUBAH, IRAQ"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehdi SH.","family":"Al-Zuheiry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS, COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, UNIVERSITY OF DIYALA, BAQUBAH, IRAQ"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"22436","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.
