Balantidium Elongatum
''Balantidium'' is a genus of ciliates. It contains the parasitic species ''Balantidium coli'', the only known cause of balantidiasis. History The first-described species of ''Balantidium'', ''B. entozoon'', was described in 1838 by Ehrenberg as a member of the genus '' Bursaria''. ''Balantidium coli'' observed in patients with dysentery was originally described as ''Paramecium coli'' by Malmstein in 1857. In 1858, Edouard Claparède and Johannes Lachmann created the genus ''Balantidium'' and reclassified ''B. entozoon'' as its type species. Stein in 1863 reclassified ''Paramecium coli'' into the genus ''Balantidium''. Transcriptomics Transcriptome data for ''Balantidium ctenopharyngodoni'', from single-cell transcriptome sequencing, were published in 2017 and were the first omics data within the subclass Trichostomatia. Taxonomy A separate genus – '' Neobalantidium'' – has been created for several of these species. ''Balantidium coli'' is one of the species that has ...

Balantidium Coli
''Balantidium coli'' is a parasitic species of ciliate alveolates that causes the disease balantidiasis. It is the only member of the ciliate phylum known to be pathogenic to humans. Morphology ''Balantidium coli'' has two developmental stages, a trophozoite stage and a cyst stage. In trophozoites, the two nuclei are visible. The macronucleus is long and sausage-shaped, and the spherical micronucleus is nested next to it, often hidden by the macronucleus. The opening, known as the peristome, at the pointed anterior end leads to the cytostome, or the mouth. Cysts are smaller than trophozoites and are round and have a tough, heavy cyst wall made of one or two layers. Usually only the macronucleus and sometimes cilia and contractile vacuoles are visible in the cyst, however, both nuclei are present because nuclear multiplication does not occur when the organism is a cyst. Living trophozoites and cysts are yellowish or greenish in color. Transmission ''Balantidium'' is the only ci ...
