Parasite of the Day: Euglenaformis parasitica
http://dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2023/12/euglenaformis-parasitica.html"#Euglena and its kin are mostly free-living, photosynthesizing when the sun's out, absorbing organic matter from the environment when it's dark. But the ancestor of E. parasitica was not content with this mostly peaceful lifestyle, and has evolved to live inside the body of #animals. These #euglenids were found parasitising #ostracods & #flatworms in a rice field in #Ibaraki, #Japan."
