Host-parasite relationship during Epistylis sp. (Ciliophora: Epistylididae) infestation in farmed cichlid and pimelodid fish [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira, 2016 : The objective of this work was to describe the host-Epistylis sp. relationship during infestation on farmed fish. Five Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and ten hybrid surubim catfish (Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum x P.

Morphological and molecular identification of epibiontic sessilid Epistylis semiciculus n. sp. (ciliophora, Peritrichia) from Procambarus clarkia (Crustacea, Decapoda) in China [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 Data on sessilinasis from Procambarus clarkia are limited. This study investigates sessilid diversity in Hubei Province, China in 2016. Procambarus clarkia pereopods were covered by two sessilid morphotypes in April and May, and the gills were adhered by

Integrative Studies on a New Ciliate Campanella sinica n. sp. (Protista, Ciliophora, Peritrichia) Based on the Morphological and Molecular Data, With Notes on the Phylogeny and Systematics of the Family Epistylididae [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 During an investigation on freshwater peritrichs, a new colonial sessilid ciliate, Campanella sinica n. sp., was isolated from aquatic plants in an artificial freshwater pond in Qingdao, China. Specimen observations of this species were performed both in

Micronucleus of Epistylis [PDF]
Nature, 1946 WHILE studying the cytology of species of Epistylis, it was noticed that the nuclear apparatus of this ciliate presented certain interesting features. The macronucleus of Epistylis is a large and band-shaped body, staining deeply with all nuclear stains, and especially with Feulgen.

Ciliate epibionts associated with crustacean zooplankton in German lakes: Distribution, motility and bacterivory [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Ciliate epibionts associated with crustacean zooplankton are widespread in aquatic systems, but their ecological roles are little known. We studied the occurrence of ciliate epibionts on crustacean zooplankton in nine German lakes with different ...

New record of Epistylis hentscheli (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) as an epibiont of Procambarus (Austrocambarus) sp. (Crustacea, Decapoda) in Chiapas, Mexico [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 Epibiosis is very common between crustaceans and ciliates where the calcified surface of the crustacean body provides a suitable substrate for ciliate colonization.

Clinico-histopathological and phylogenetic analysis of protozoan epibiont Epistylis wuhanensis associated with crustacean parasite Lernaea cyprinacea from ornamental fish in Iran. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Parasitic infestations are one of the most concerning problems limiting ornamental fish farming. In addition to the direct economic losses due to the major mortalities, parasites may significantly negatively impact the body shape, coloration, growth rate,
