Bodo
A genus of free-living, ovoid or slightly pyriform protozoa with two flagella, one projecting anteriorly and the other posteriorly; may be ingested as encysted forms in food or drink, or possibly deposited in feces or urine after excretion; in either instance, cysts frequently develop into trophozoites if the specimen is permitted to remain at room temperature for a few hours prior to examination; the organisms are not pathogenic in humans.
- B. caudatus a species that is found in specimens of human feces (especially in tropical regions); the organisms are frequently termed coprozoic flagellates.
- B. saltans a species of the intestinal tract sometimes observed in ulcers.
- B. urinarius a species found occasionally in the urine.
