Sequencing reads are classified against a curated reference database of nearly 500,000 18S rRNA sequences spanning 33 eukaryotic phyla, developed specifically for eukaryotic pathogen detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy blood:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bloodstream represents the most direct window into systemic eukaryotic organism burden. Several of the most clinically significant parasitic organisms in human medicine are blood-borne, circulating through the vascular system and establishing infection in organs, tissues, and the central nervous system. Many of these infections are subclinical for extended periods, presenting with nonspecific symptoms such as chronic fatigue, cognitive changes, and intermittent fever that are rarely attributed to parasitic causes in standard clinical workups. Blood-based 18S sequencing captures organism DNA shed into circulation, providing a systemic complement to gut and mucosal sampling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganisms targeted include:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePlasmodium\u003c\/em\u003e species (malaria), \u003cem\u003eBabesia\u003c\/em\u003e species, \u003cem\u003eTrypanosoma\u003c\/em\u003e species, \u003cem\u003eLeishmania\u003c\/em\u003e species, \u003cem\u003eToxoplasma gondii\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFilaria\u003c\/em\u003e species, \u003cem\u003eAcanthamoeba\u003c\/em\u003e species, pathogenic fungi including \u003cem\u003eCandida\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAspergillus\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eCryptococcus\u003c\/em\u003e species, and hundreds of additional eukaryotic organisms across 33 phyla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccepted Sample Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finger-prick blood spot or venous whole blood (home collection kit included)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eThis is not a diagnostic test.\u003c\/strong\u003e The PathOID.ai Human Blood Parasite Screen is an educational and research tool only.
