Trichodinidae is a family of ciliates of the order Mobilida, class Oligohymenophorea. Members of the family are ectoparasites (or, alternatively, ectocommensals) of a wide variety of aquatic organisms, including fish, amphibians, hydrozoans, molluscs and crustaceans.[1][2][3][4]
Suggestion from an anonymous editor: Trichodina actually infect Hydra too, so someone needs to add that in, along with a citation.
Genera
The family consists of four genera.
- Dipartiella Stein, 1961
- Paratrichodina Lom, 1963
- Trichodina Ehrenberg, 1830
- Trichodinella Srámek-Husek, 1953
