Tsaousis LAB @ University of Kent 🇪🇺

Our commentary on the role of #Blastocystis and #Urticaria: We argue for better evidence: longitudinal sampling, quantitative detection, subtype/allele resolution, validated urticaria outcomes, and clearance-linked clinical endpoints. doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.… #OneHealth

New publication from our lab: Rewilding reshapes gut #microbiomes and parasite exposure in European #bison sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share our latest review in @ACS_Infectious on #Leishmania, Beyond the Sand Fly and the Macrophage. We argue that tackling #leishmaniasis requires a deeper understanding of parasite biology, persistence, and host-vector interactions. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Today is World Chagas Disease Day! At #ICOPA2026, the scientific program brings together the disciplines needed to understand diseases like this in full. 🔗 bit.ly/44bP7C8 #Parasitology #GlobalHealth @WorldFedPara

Many thanks to the @MicrobioSocfor inviting me to speak at #microbio26 in Belfast (Ireland), where I discussed #Blastocystis and its role in health and "disease" through the pioneering work we are developing in our @TsaousisLab, with support from the @BlastocystisC Action.

@BlastocystisC @ADTsaousis @COSTprogramme Well done everyone! @daisyshawbio , @ADTsaousis and Abbey Ruffell from our lab

Last week our Action was at the Institute of Parasitology at part of the #Blastocystis genomics training school! Many thanks to the organisers and attendees for making this possible! @COSTprogramme #genomics #sciencewithoutborders

@BlastocystisC @ADTsaousis @COSTprogramme Well done everyone! @daisyshawbio , @ADTsaousis and Abbey Ruffell from our lab

‼️ Call for papers 🚨 An upcoming Special Issue in Parasitology will examine the mechanisms through which climate change drives infectious disease risk and adaptation. Submission deadline: 31st July 2026 More info: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

We have put together this commentary not to criticise any work but to highlight that is necessary to ensure that proper research is done on #Blastocystis! Spread the word! link.springer.com/article/10.118…

New paper/commentary from our COST Action emphasising the need of proper research and controls for interpreting #Blastocystis research! @COSTprogramme rdcu.be/fbrCh

Our #OneHealth survey of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in rural Adana, Türkiye identified known zoonotic genotypes and two novel ITS genotypes in livestock. New contribution to understanding parasite transmission across the human-animal-environment interface. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

KCCR through its Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research Group, hosted a delegation from the University of Kent as part of ongoing efforts to deepen international research collaboration around a proposed joint study. READ MORE HERE⬇️ kccr-ghana.org/kccr-strengthe… #IDERG #GlobalHealth

Excited to share our new paper on #Cryptosporidium and #Giardia duodenalis across humans, livestock, and the environment in rural #Türkiye. #OneHealth #Parasitology mdpi.com/2076-3417/16/6…

It’s World Parasite Awareness Day! Parasites don’t respect borders, and as our climate changes, they’re moving into new territories faster than ever. 🔗 bit.ly/4apwAER #GlobalHealth #ICOPA2026 @WorldFedPara

#Blastocystis is one of the most common gut #protists globally, yet it’s still framed as pathogen vs commensal. A One Health lens (subtypes, host context, animals + environment) makes it clear: it deserves sharper, subtype-aware microbiology. the-microbiologist.com/features/rethi…
