   Diagnosis is based on detection of trophozoites in stool samples from symptomatic patients or in tissue collected during endoscopy. Cysts are less frequently encountered, and are most likely to be recovered from formed stool. Balantidium coli is passed intermittently and once outside the colon is rapidly destroyed. Thus stool specimens should ...

   Balantidium coli lives in the cecum and colon of humans, pigs, rats, and other mammals. It is not readily transmissible from one species of host to another because it requires a period of time to adjust to the symbiotic flora of the new host. Once it has adapted to a host species, the protozoan can become a serious pathogen, especially in humans.

   Mar 22, 2022 · Balantidium coli is a ciliated protozoan parasite, which causes intestinal and extraintestinal infections in humans. It is transmitted feco-orally by ingesting infective cysts with food and water. Urinary balantidiasis may occur through contamination (direct spread from the anal area), secondarily to rectovaginal fistula and following immune ...

   Jan 5, 2022 · The ciliate Balantioides coli (syn. Balantidium coli) is the largest human parasitic protozoa, and can infect a wide range of hosts, with swine being the main reservoir. The parasite has a direct life cycle, with a vegetative form, the trophozoite, inhabiting the host intestine, and a resting cyst that is released into the environment in faeces.

   What are the symptoms of Balantidium coli?

   • A ciliated protozoan Balantidium coli infects the intestine and causes complications leading to balantidiasis. Balantidium (largest protozoan) is the only ciliate capable of infecting humans. Most often people with the infection show no symptoms at all. Some may experience mild symptoms like diarrhea and abdominal discomfort.

   Is Balantidium coli a trophozoite or cyst?

   • Balantidium coli as seen in a wet mount of a stool specimen. The organism is surrounded by cilia. Balantidium coli has two developmental stages, a trophozoite stage and a cyst stage. In trophozoites, the two nuclei are visible.

   Balantidium has a simple life cycle, as follows: dormant cyst to trophozoite and trophozoite to cyst. Transmission is direct, from a contaminated water or food supply to humans (Fig. (Fig.1). 1). No intermediate host, as occurs with many other parasitic species, is needed.
