''Balantidium coli'' is a parasitic species of ciliate protozoan that causes the disease Balantidiasis.〔〕 It is the only member of the ciliate phylum known to be pathogenic to humans.〔〔 ==Morphology==
''Balantidium coli'' has two developmental stages, a trophozoite stage and a cyst stage. In trophozoites, the two nuclei are visible. The macronucleus is long and sausage-shaped, and the spherical micronucleus is nested next to it, often hidden by the macronucleus. The opening, known as the peristome, at the pointed anterior end leads to the cytostome, or the mouth. Cysts are smaller than trophozoites and are round and have a tough, heavy cyst wall made of one or two layers. Usually only the macronucleus and sometimes cilia and contractile vacuoles are visible in the cyst. Living trophozoites and cysts are yellowish or greenish in color.
