Mr. editor. Reading carefully an article in your magazine entitled “Coprological Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in humans and backyard pigs from the district of Zapatero, San Martín ”which reports only 0.57% prevalence for Balantidium in pigs coli and indicates the degree of this and other enteroparasites in pigs as of importance in the
transmission to man (1), in this regard I would like to add the following: The only ciliate described for man was Balantidium coli (Neobalantidium coli), causing of balantidiasis or balantiosis (Figure 1), but it was recently described in the Revista Médica Synergy 6 (2) e637, 2021, a new protozoan colonizing human intestine. Is about Balantidium nawaraoi (Neobalantidium nawaraoi (2,3).
