Morphology and molecular phylogeny of four epibiotic ciliates (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) from farmed red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii Girard, 1852, with notes on the geographic distributions of related taxa

open access: yesWater Biology and Security
Aquaculture of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is an emerging farming industry in China. As shown recently, one of the most significant diseases affecting the red swamp crayfish is caused by overabundance of epibiotic peritrichs, a group of ...

Zooplankton Epibionts in Boreal Lakes: Associations With DOC and Host Community Traits

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Epibiosis in aquatic ecosystems is well‐documented, yet the factors influencing epibiont prevalence and host selection remain unclear. This study investigates how water quality parameters and zooplankton community dynamics influence epibiont prevalence, with a focus on ecological implications.

Growth of the peritrich epibiont Zoothamnium intermedium Precht, 1935 (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) estimated from laboratory experiments

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Peritrich ciliates are commonly found colonizing living substrates. Although this a well known phenomenon, biological aspects of this relationship need to be studied in more detail.

Biased re-orientation in the chemotaxis of peritrichous bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Abstract Many kinds of peritrichous bacteria that repeat runs and tumbles by using multiple flagella exhibit chemotaxis by sensing a difference in the concentration of the attractant or repellent between two adjacent time points.

A taxonomic study of sessile peritrichs (Ciliophora: Peritricha) associated with crustacean fish ectoparasites in South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Three new and four known species of sessile peritrichs were identified from the crustacean ectoparasites, Lernaea barnimiana (Hartman, 1870), L. cyprinacea  Linnaeus, 1758 and Dolops ranarum(Stuhimann, 1891) from various fish hosts in South Africa The ...

Using digital PCR to predict ciliate abundance from ribosomal RNA gene copy numbers

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2024.
We have developed a digital polymerase chain reaction assay for quantifying the small subunit of the ribosomal RNA gene copies in ciliates. This protocol has proven effective in quantifying the cellular abundance of ciliates in environmental samples. Notably, our method can reliably detect as few as a single cell in a sample.
