Today I had a super productive meeting with Nicola Segata at Segata Lab ! We discussed current and upcoming projects on #gutmicrobiome & #Blastocystis ! Many thanks to BlastocystisCOST for supporting my trip in Trento! #sciencewithoutborders

Had a fantastic visit to @PreBiomics today! Loved hearing about their microbiome sequencing tech & exploring ways to work together via our BlastocystisCOST ! Big potential here. 👇 #Blastocystis #OneHealth #Microbiome #Collaboration

Today at our group meeting, we welcomed Dr. Anastasios Tsaousis who shared with us knowledge and findings on #gutmicrobiome & BlastocystisCOST! Thank you, Anastasios! (the red bag: sweets from the UK) Here you can check out his team and amazing work: adtsaousis.com

ESCMID Our team is working hard to get everything ready!!!

If you are attending the 2025 ESCMID conference, please come and see our J21 booth! You will get a free gift back if you answer a questionnaire on #Blastocystis! Spread the word!

If you're at #ESCMID2025 , swing by booth J21 – say hi, pick up a goodie bag, and fill out the WG1 questionnaire. Why does it matter? Because your insights help us understand and improve #Blastocystis research across Europe and beyond. #COSTAction #Microbiology ESCMID

🚨 New paper out! We analysed 248 studies across 63 countries to map the global prevalence of #Cryptosporidium in cattle. 🔬 C. parvum is dominant, posing serious #OneHealth risks. Big shoutout to MSc-R student Przemyslaw for his great work! 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.crpv… risks.

Only a few days left to apply for this fully funded MSc, covers home fees and stipend for 12 months

Spread the news!! I am organizing a new #Microbiome conference organized by Microbiology Society in Miami, FL 18-20 Feb, 2026. 'Microbes in Microbiomes' will merge the classic microbiology from the last century and modern microbiome science. Spread the word!! microbiologysociety.org/event/full-eve…

🚀 Introducing AgrosBiome! We’re on a mission to demystify and improve regenerative agriculture with cutting-edge soil & animal microbiome analytics. Ready to unlock the secrets beneath your fields and herds? Visit agrosbiome.com to learn more! #SoilHealth #Microbiome

#Blastocystis gets some publicity in nature This long-overlooked gut microbe is finally getting the spotlight it deserves. Huge thanks to our BlastocystisCOST Action members whose dedication helped bring Blastocystis to global attention. #Microbiome nature.com/articles/d4158…

Very timely, on #WorldMicrobiomeDay we announce our new paper that was accepted in Microbiology Society 's AM journal: Effect of antibiotic administration on #Blastocystis persistence and gut #Microbiome dynamics in an #IBS longitudinal case study: doi.org/10.1099/acmi.0…

🚜🌱 We’re at #Groundswell2025! Meet the AgrosBiome team under Tent C10 to discuss soil and animal microbiome insights, pilot projects and regenerative agriculture 🤝🔬 #AgTech #SoilHealth #Microbiome #RegenerativeAg

New Publication: "Comprehensive Tools for Culturing #Blastocystis": a standardised toolkit for xenic & axenic culture, media prep, cryopreservation & troubleshooting. A COST Action CA21105 deliverable led by Daisy Shaw & a fantastic team. doi.org/10.1002/cpz1.7…

My new paper in Trends in Parasitology : “Rethinking #Blastocystis: ubiquity & cyclical abundance in the human gut” 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.pt.2… We propose a paradigm shift that Blastocystis is a core gut resident and the unrgent eed for longitudinal studies! #gutmicrobiome

New paper out from our lab: Microbial & Metabolic Signatures Among #Blastocystis Subtypes (ST1–ST9) in Xenic Cultures: ST3 shows distinct microbial & metabolite patterns (↑SCFAs, ↓benzoate, unique biomarkers). Read here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #microbiome #metabolomics
