Abstract

Balantidiosis is a disease infected with Balantidium coli, and swine is the main infection source. The infection of B. coli may cause diarrhea, extra intestinal infection and co-infection with other pathogens and even intestinal necrosis. Strengthening the manure management of both human and livestock, paying attention to personal hygiene and labor protection, and timely treatment of the patients are the main measures to control balantidiosis.
