Abstract
A species of Blastocytis has been identified and isolated from pigs in England. A limited survey was carried out, which showed that the organism was present on each of five pig farms visited in Berkshire and East Anglia. Sixty percent of pigs sampled harboured Blastocystis, though usually in low numbers. Higher numbers were seen only in those pigs suffering diarrhoea or dysentery but there is no evidence as yet to suggest that Blastocystis has a pathogenic role.
