Chilomastix Mesnili

Chilomastix mesnili is a species of protozoan belonging to the family Retortomonadidae, order Polymastigida, and class Flagellates. This species is not pathogenic for humans, but it may be present in the colon of a healthy person in small quantities.

Kilomastyx mennili is a single-celled organism shaped like a comma or a stick. It has a flagellum, which is used for locomotion, and a nucleus, which contains genetic information. Kilomastyx mennili can be found in the human intestines, where it feeds on bacteria and other microorganisms found in the gastrointestinal tract.

Although Chilomastix mesnili is non-pathogenic, it may cause discomfort in some people. This is because this type of protozoan can irritate the intestinal lining and lead to bloating, gas and diarrhea. In some cases, large amounts of Chilomastix mesnili in the intestines can lead to inflammation and even infection.

To prevent Chilomastix mesnili, you need to monitor hand hygiene, avoid eating unwashed vegetables and fruits, and also monitor your diet to avoid excess bacteria in the intestines. If Chilomastix mesnili was found in your intestines, you should consult a doctor for consultation and treatment.

In general, Chilomastix mesnili does not pose a serious threat to human health, but it can cause unpleasant symptoms. Therefore, it is important to monitor your health and follow preventive measures to avoid possible problems.



Chilomastix Mesnili belongs to a subgroup of flagellates located on the parasitiform lineage graph. The only representative of this order of flowing flagella is Chilomonas multivalvis (belongs to the phylum Protozoa).

DimensionsH. mesnil are (0.02-0.04) x (0.3-1.0) µm, mobile, oval, pear-shaped or kidney-shaped. A characteristic sign is a double, usually uneven bundle of short red strands. There are five large amoebic clusters, one of which is located in the center of symmetry of the cell (centrosome). The number of endoplasmic reticulum is sometimes equal to one, sometimes more. Most have one large, less often two large nuclei. The centrosome is a large granule, the color of which depends on the presence of centrioles and the pigmentation of chromatin. When filled with chromatin, the color changes to yellow, and when the centriole is located, it changes to red. It is possible to change the shape of the NLC, possibly the nucleoli - with an increase in size, despiralization of their filaments occurs; disappears, becomes invisible, clearly visible before division, “central” in the accumulation of chromosomes near the neighboring (peripheral) cells.
