All Parasitic Ciliates

Parasitic Ciliates is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers the ciliates that live as parasites, such as the fish parasite Ich and Balantidium coli. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that it is a parasitic ciliate. It excludes free-living ciliates and apicomplexan parasites. Members are placed by the classification their cited article gives, not by common name or appearance alone.
