Abstract excerpt

Balantioides coli (formerly Balantidium coli) is a ciliate protozoan causing balantidiasis in humans and non-human primates (NHPs), yet it remains underrecognized in zoological settings. Morphologically similar ciliates described as Buxtonella-like organisms have been reported in NHPs and are generally considered asymptomatic. In this study, we report symptomatic infection in mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) and...
