Abstract
The work was to determine growth regularities of Blastocystis sp. primary cultures in five types of nutrient media and to identify the most effective media for amoeboid morphoforms detection in short-term cultures of parasites. Established primary growth regularities of three cultures of Blastocystis sp. and their long-term subcultivation in mJones’s, mLE, RPMI, IMDMEM and RPMI / IMDMEM media justify the appropriateness of the optimal medium type selection taking into consideration the goal and objectives of the proposed study.
