Novel insights into the genetic diversity of Balantidium and Balantidium-like cyst-forming ciliates.

Novel insights into the genetic diversity of Balantidium and Balantidium-like cyst-forming ciliates.

Balantidiasis is considered a neglected zoonotic disease with pigs serving as reservoir hosts. However, Balantidium coli has been recorded in many other mammalian species, including primates. Here, we evaluated the genetic diversity of B. coli in non-human primates using two gene markers (SSrDNA and...
