  The stomach is not a preferred site for human parasitic infections. Cryptosporidium spp. has been found lining the gastric mucosa, which was virtually free of inflammation.
  Several cases of giardiasis have been reported, virtually all in stomachs with extensive atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.
  Because most patients also have H. pylori infection, it remains unclear whether Giardia intestinalis causes (...)

  mycoses, mycosis, fungal diseases, fungal infections
  Definition: Fungal infections are called mycoses. Fungi are eukaryotes that grow predominantly by budding (yeasts) or by filamentous extensions called hyphae (molds).
  The distinction between yeasts and molds is not absolute and is based on the usual morphology of the organism. Some fungi, such as Candida albicans, tend to grow predominantly as yeast but may also form hyphae.
  Dimorphic fungi have both a yeast form (at human body (...)

  microsatellite instability, MSI-H, DNA microsatellite instability, MSI, mismatch-repair deficiency; MMR diseases; DNA Mismatch Repair Protein Deficiency
  Definition: A cause for genetic instability is the frequent appearance of mismatches on the double helix of DNA. (DNA mismatch repair)
  Base-base mismatches
  Base-base mismatches and small loops may occur during most of the main mechanism that process DNA, that is, replication, recombination and repair itself. From bacteria to eukaryotes, (...)
