invasive balantidiasis presented as chronic colitis and lung involvement.a unique case of chronic balantidiasis is described, presenting with chronic colitis and inflammatory polyposis of the rectum and sigmoid colon and an intrapulmonary mass. histology of the colonic polyps showed balantidium coli, and both aspergillus and balantidium coli were found in the aspirate of the pulmonary mass. the patient was treated with doxycycline hcl 100 mg/day for 10 days with complete clinical recovery and marked improvement of the endoscopic appearance of the colonic mucosa.19892791818
occasional parasitic infections of man in papua new guinea and irian jaya (new guinea).most parasites of man in new guinea are cosmopolitan species, widely distributed and highly prevalent in the island. reports of other parasite infections are reviewed. this impoverished fauna includes anthroponotic species normally occurring at low prevalences, e.g. isospora belli, dientamoeba fragilis, trichomonas hominis and a few zoonotic forms with pigs as reservoir hosts, notably balantidium coli and entamoeba polecki. other zoonoses are very few and extremely rare. this may be due to the r ...19892690759
human balantidiasis. a case report.a 58-year-old woman, who presented to hospital with melaena and faecal peritonitis due to a perforated terminal ileum, was found to be infected with balantidium coli. this protozoan parasite is commonly found in pigs, but can infect man, and may mimic amoebic infection. the diagnosis may be missed unless fresh stools are examined immediately. the patient died from septicaemia.19902339302

typhlitis due to balantidium coli in captive lowland gorillas.typhlitis caused by balantidium coli and requiring surgical resection occurred in three captive lowland gorillas over a 30-month period. not one of the other gorillas in the colony or their keepers was ill. b. coli is distributed widely geographically and widely among mammals. asymptomatic commensalism predominates, but invasion of the colonic mucosa can produce diarrhea and dysentery and set the stage for local or systemic spread.19902267484

parasitic infections in humans in west kalimantan (borneo), indonesia.a survey was carried out among inhabitants of eight villages in west kalimantan province (borneo), whereby blood smears were examined for malaria, stools examined for intestinal parasites and sera tested by the indirect hemagglutination test for antibodies to entamoeba histolytica and toxoplasma gondii. the prevalence of malaria among 3017 people examined was 5.6% (plasmodium vivax 2.8%, plasmodium falciparum 2.8%). brugia malayi microfilariae were found in 3.6% and wuchereria bancrofti in 0.3%. ...1976788263
[balantidium coli infection of the female genitals (author's transl)].two cases of therapy-resistant fluorine are reported in which balantidium coli from the class of the cilia (ciliophora, ciliata, infusoria) was identified. after a personal experiment, the balantidia must be considered extremely pathogenic. in international literature, no further indication of a ciliata infection of the female genitals was found.1976773739
balantidiosis in a chimpanzee (pan troglodytes).a young adult chimpanzee died after a brief gastrointestinal illness characterized by profuse soft stool, vomiting and dyspnoea. necropsy examination revealed a severe typhlitis and colitis with pseudomembrane formation, and acute aspiration pneumonia. balantidium coli, a common intestinal parasite, was found in large numbers in the mucosal and submucosal layers of the colon and caecum. the inflammation and degree of invasion associated with balantidium coli indicates that it was a primary patho ...1978732267

studies on the intestinal parasites in african patients in owamboland, south west africa.the paper gives the results of a survey of intestinal parasites among 501 in-patients drawn from four mission hospitals in owambo and kavango in northern south west africa. most of the patients (90%) were examined twice by the formol-ether concentration method, while the remaining 10% had one stool specimen examined. 10 species of helminths and 3 species of potentially-pathogenic protozoa were recorded--necator americanus, strongyloides stercoralis, strongyloides fuelleborni, hymenolepis nana, t ...1978635971
effect of terramycin in balantidiosis of pigs.in an industrial pig farm in lubumashi, zaïre, balantidium coli produced severe clinical and fatal disease. terramycin at a dose rate of 15 mg/kg body weight administered twice daily with concentrates gave clinical recovery in all the pigs treated. the complete parasitological recovery was obtained in 14 out of 20 animals. in the remaining 6 there was significant reduction in the number of b. coli. keeping in view the large spectrum of activity of terramycin in various infections as well as b. c ...1977596795
the prevalence of human intestinal protozoa in ibadan, nigeria.this study shows that the two intestinal protozoa, giardia lamblia, balantidium coli in addition to entamoeba histolytica are prevalent in the ibadan population and are responsible for many of the non-bacterial diarrhoea seen in patients. a high seasonal prevalence of the intestinal protozoa in the dry months of the year was associated with the use of contaminated water. both the high infection rates recorded in adults and children under five years old, and the high frequency of association invo ...1977563477

[effects of mebendazole and cambendazole on enterohelminths in pigs].mebendazole, administered at a dose of 30 mg active substance per 1 kg of feed, was found to have 100% effectiveness on ascaris suum and cambendazole, administered at a dose of 1.5 g per 1 kg of liver weight, showed the same effectiveness in the control of ascaris suum and oesophagostomum dentatum. the effectiveness of both drugs on trichocephalus suis and strongyloides ransomi was low. mebendazole and cambendazole can be recommended for mass dehelminthization of pigs in affected stocks. helmint ...1979111399
a parasitological study on the chacma baboon (papio ursinus) from the northern transvaal.baboons imported into rhodesia from the northern transvaal proved to be heavily infected with intestinal protozoa and helminths. in fact, six protozoan species, one cestode and eight nematode species were recorded. a new concept in "identification graphs" is included in the paper which allows one to read off directly the species of strongyle eggs being passed by baboons in southern africa based upon length and breadth measurements of the eggs. treatment of balantidium coli and nematode infection ...1978104037
neutral red supravital staining for cellular elements in the semen.human seminal fluid besides spermatozoa often contains other cellular elements. a supravital staining method designed to differentiate the above mentioned cellular elements was described. amongst the spermatogenic cells only spermatocytes were stained with neutral red. they displayed two peculiar structures designated as "y" granules and "enigmatic body". neutral red was absorbed by the spermiophage cells and was concentrated by them in the form of cytoplasmic granules. in addition the coarse gr ...197875699
