A stylized microbiology illustration depicts the cyst stage of Balantidium coli (B. coli), a ciliated protozoan parasite. The image shows a thick-walled, ovoid cell with an internal macronucleus-like structure and multiple cytoplasmic vacuoles. As a life-cycle stage (cell type) within the species, the cyst enables environmental persistence and fecal–oral transmission to the host’s gastrointestinal (GI) tract, particularly the human large intestine (colon), where the trophozoite form resides and causes balantidiasis.
