We here describe a case of
Balantidium coli infection (Balantidiasis) in a 5 years old male hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) in a pet shop in Saudi Arabia.
A case of lung involvement with

Balantidium coli tambien fue identificado, pero en un bajo porcentaje (0,52%), lo que indica que los habitantes de esta comunidad tienen contacto con cerdos infectados, al ser este el principal reservorio de esta zoonosis.
