B. coli, transmissão zoonótica, protozoário gastrointestinal, protozoário ciliado, balantidioseAbstract
A balantidiose é uma zoonose negligenciada, sendo prevalente em comunidades rurais onde a suinocultura é comum. B. coli é o único protozoário ciliado a infectar humanos, bem como um dos maiores protozoários intestinais que infectam humanos. Também infecta uma variedade de outros animais, como javalis, camelos, ruminantes e primatas não humanos. Este parasita habita o trato intestinal do hospedeiro, e a doença está principalmente relacionada a países em desenvolvimento, onde as fontes de água podem estar contaminadas com fezes de suínos ou de humanos. A transmissão de humano para humano também pode ocorrer e, embora a morte seja incomum como resultado da infecção por B. coli, esse parasita pode ser um problema em países em desenvolvimento com populações desnutridas e com excesso de parasitas. Considerando que a literatura sobre a infecção por B. coli em humanos e animais é escassa, e a importância desse protozoário no diagnóstico corretos de doença disentérica e diarreica em regiões onde o parasita ocorre, este manuscrito apresenta uma visão geral dos principais aspectos da biologia, epidemiologia e transmissão de B. coli relatados na literatura.
