Endobiotic Ciliates from the Rumen of the European Bison Bison Bonasus (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Vologda Oblast of Russia

The fauna of endobiotic ciliates of the rumen of the European bison Bison bonasus from the Vologda oblast of Russia was investigated. In the studied bisons, 12 species of trichostomatids (Trichostomatia, Litostomatea) were found, ten of which were from the family Ophryoscolecidae and two species wer...

Description
Summary:The fauna of endobiotic ciliates of the rumen of the European bison Bison bonasus from the Vologda oblast of Russia was investigated. In the studied bisons, 12 species of trichostomatids (Trichostomatia, Litostomatea) were found, ten of which were from the family Ophryoscolecidae and two species were from the family Isotrichidae. A high similarity of ciliate faunas in the rumen of different bison individuals in the studied population was noted. A comparative analysis of data on the species diversity and number of endobiotic ciliates in the rumen of various representatives of the genus Bison from different habitats was carried out.
