Answer 1

Explanation:

Balantidium caviae

Balantidium caviae in guinea pigs is usually a nonpathogenic, ciliated protozoan possessing a micro- and a macronucleus and is transmitted by the fecal–oral route (Ballweber and Harkness, 2007). It inhabits the cecum and colon, and its trophozoites may be an opportunistic pathogen in bacterial enteropathies, following mucosal damage, or with E. caviae, a true pathogen present antemortem in the intestinal wall (Krishnan, 1968). The organism is identified histologically in intestinal wall (postmortem invasion of the wall occurs also) and in intestinal content and feces.
