Researchers studying Blastocystis isolated from animal cadavers in Channai, India report that scrapings from cecal sections, but not duodenal sections, are a reliable method for identifying Blastocystis infection. Of 24 animals found positive for Blastocystis, cecal scrapings were positive in all cases, but duodenal scrapings were positive in only 6 cases.
