Abstract

Blastocystis is a common intestinal parasite, previously known as Blastocystis hominis, that is found worldwide in both humans and animals. Its role as a pathogen is debated because most infected individuals are asymptomatic, though it is linked to gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting in some cases. Diagnosis requires finding the organism in a stool sample and correlating it with symptoms. While some infections may resolve on their own, treatment with antibiotics like metronidazole or other antiprotozoal medications may be considered if symptoms are severe. Blastocystis hominis infection, also called blastocystosis, is an infection with a single-celled parasite that is often asymptomatic, but can cause gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and gas. Infection is spread through the fecal-oral route, which includes ingesting contaminated food or water and poor hygiene. A microscopic parasite that can be found in the intestines and is being studied for its link to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a functional gastrointestinal disorder. Research is ongoing to understand Blastocystis' role, with some studies finding it in individuals with IBS symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain, while others find it in asymptomatic individuals, indicating the pathogenic potential is still controversial. Treatment for symptomatic cases may involve antibiotics, but diagnosis and treatment can be challenging as many infections are mild and resolve on their own. The prevalence of Blastocystis hominis varies globally, being significantly higher in developing countries (often exceeding 50%) compared to developed countries (typically around 10% or less). Transmission can occur through contaminated food and water, and via animal-to-human and human-to-human contact. Factors like sanitation, socioeconomic conditions, and personal hygiene play a major role in the parasite's prevalence. Blastocystis hominis infection in females is similar to in males, though some studies show slight prevalence differences. Many individuals are asymptomatic, but when symptoms occur, they can include diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and anal itching. Females, particularly pregnant women, can also be at risk for iron deficiency anemia from this infection

Abstract

The current study was designed to investigate the effect of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Aloe barbadensis on the tissues of 4-8-week-old male Balb/c mice weighing 22-28 grams, collected from the beginning of September 2025 until October 2025. These mice were taken from the animal house of the College of Veterinary Medicine, Tikrit University, and placed in special cages in the animal house, which were bedded with wood shavings. Care was taken to keep the cages clean. Microscopic examination of tissue sections taken from mice infected with the Entamoeba histolytica parasite revealed pathological histological changes in the large intestine (colon) and liver. Specifically, necrosis of the intestinal mucosa was observed in the lamina propria, along with degeneration of several cells lining the intestinal glands. Large numbers of white blood cells were also found infiltrating the lamina propria between the glands, compared to the control group. The intestinal glands appeared tubular in shape with cavities containing mucous droplets. Between the bases and walls of the glands, mucous membranes were also found. In the liver of the positive (infected) control group, the portal vein appeared longitudinally wide and contained a mass of red blood cells and some white blood cells, with thickening of its wall adjacent to the bile duct, compared to the negative (uninfected) control group. Microscopic examination of histological sections taken from the intestines of mice infected and treated with an aqueous extract of Aloe barbadensis showed that the intestinal mucosa contained epithelial cells lining the intestinal lumen, with a large number of mucosal goblet cells distributed among the epithelial cells. In the infected liver treated with the aqueous extract, the liver cells appeared in long rows, each row containing normal-shaped hepatocytes with a polygonal appearance and a large, spherical nucleus. In the intestines of mice infected and treated with an alcoholic extract of Aloe barbadensis the intestinal mucosa showed numerous mucosal goblet cells and mucosal droplets in the cytoplasm of these cells, in addition to columnar epithelial cells facing the lumen. In the intestines and in the infected liver treated with the alcoholic extract, the liver tissue contained hepatocytes arranged in interlocking rows similar to honeycomb cells with large spherical nuclei, indicating the efficiency of the extracts in repairing damaged tissues.
