Philasterida (the philasterid ciliates) is an order of ciliates in the subclass Scuticociliatia. (wikipedia.org)
BACKGROUND: Pseudocohnilembus persalinus and Uronema marinum (Ciliophora, Scuticociliatia), as parasitic scuticociliatid ciliates, were isolated from Scophthalmus maximus and Takifugu rubripes, respectively, in our previous studies. (bvsalud.org)
Parasitic2
Parasitic infections cause a tremendous burden of disease in both the tropics and subtropics as well as in more temperate climates. (cdc.gov)
However, parasitic infections also affect persons living in developed countries, including the United States . (cdc.gov)
Characteristic2
A temporary inflammatory reaction known as calabar swellings, characteristic of Loa loa infection. (innvista.com)
Another interesting characteristic of the ciliates is the presence of two nuclei. (projectbr.com)
Bacteria2
Higher trophy could also directly affect reproduction potential of the ciliate C. acuminatus , which supposedly feeds on bacteria, algae, and other organic particles filtered out from the water by its host. (reabic.net)
In this paper, two new bacteria belonging to the "CandidatusMidichloria" clade, hosted by two different strains of the ciliate protistEuplotes harpa, are described on the basis of ultrastructural observations, comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, and an estimation of the percentage of infection.

Paramecium1
The paramecium belongs in kingdom Protista, phylum Ciliophora and family Paramecidae. (jvestrada.com)
Organism2
They are able to multiply in humans, which contributes to their survival and also permits serious infections to develop from just a single organism. (cdc.gov)
A yeast-like organism of the Candida genus that causes the infection Candidiasis, commonly referred to as "thrush. (innvista.com)
Tissues1
Alternatively, the immature (larval) states can cause disease through their infection of various body tissues. (cdc.gov)
Study3
The study of Ciliates and their symbionts has a century-old tradition dating back to observations by Hafkine and Buetschli in the late 19th century. (mdpi.com)
The freshwater invasive mollusc Dreissena polymorpha and its host-specific commensal ciliate Conchophthirus acuminatus represent a convenient model to study various aspects of symbiotic relationships. (reabic.net)
This study was conducted to test whether the nutrient enrichment of waterbodies inhabited by D. polymorpha is associated with C. acuminatus infection. (reabic.net)
Human3
Humans acquire this infection through water and food contaminated with pig or human feces. (medscape.com)
Very few cases of human B coli infection have been reported in India. (medscape.com)
This phylum includes obligate intracellular parasites, such as Chlamydia trachomatis, responsible for various human infections, including sexually transmitted diseases. (microbiologynote.com)
Significant2
This Special Issue on "Biodiversity of Ciliates and their Symbionts" provides a platform to highlight new research and significant advances in the description of Ciliates and their symbionts. (mdpi.com)
Although the percentage of infected molluscs did not differ among these waterbodies, the average number of ciliates per host showed a significant increase with respect to the lake trophic status. (reabic.net)
San Francisco Bay, California, USA) that had intense brain infections of Philasterides dicentrarchi (as Miamiensis avidus ). (vin.com)
Miamiensis avidus (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida) causes systemic infection of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus and is a senior synonym of Philasterides dicentrarchi . (vin.com)
Species2
Excised portions of infected brain from two smooth dogfish were examined under oil immersion (100x objective magnification) as wet mounts using a compound microscope with differential interference contrast optical components, which confirmed that the ciliates comprised a species of Scuticociliatida ( Ciliophora ). (vin.com)
3 The phenomenon of scuticociliates causing mortality events in wild shark populations, such as in the current study and San Francisco Bay 3 , is remarkable in the context of aquatic pathogens among wild fish populations because seldom are such intense infections associated with strandings and species-specific fish kills. (vin.com)
Parasitic2
Parasitic infections cause a tremendous burden of disease in both the tropics and subtropics as well as in more temperate climates. (cdc.gov)
However, parasitic infections also affect persons living in developed countries, including the United States . (cdc.gov)
Coli3
Balantidiasis (also known as balantidiosis) is defined as large-intestinal infection with Balantidium coli, which is a ciliated protozoan (and the largest protozoan that infects humans). (medscape.com)
Cases of B coli infection from cattle, pigs,[6] and rats, among others, have also been previously reported from India. (medscape.com)
Umesh demonstrated a case of urinary balantidiasis in a 29-year-old woman in Mumbai, India, but this report failed to demonstrate B coli on stool examination, required to confirm the hypothesis of extraintestinal Bcoli infection in humans. (medscape.com)
Generally1
Treating viral infections Generally, infectious arthritis caused by a virus goes away by itself. (computer-voellings.de)
Multiple1
Most monoxenous infections, and consequently multiple parasitism, exhibited a rising trend during the first 2 months of intensive mating, with tendencies being slowed down or even reversed during the third month as a result of accumulated mortality and a sampling-derived reduction in host density.
