Abstract

SUMMARY Cultivation of luminal protistan parasites has a long history. In this review we discuss the methods and media that are most widely used for the establishment and maintenance of the following organisms in culture: Entamoeba histolytica , Giardia intestinalis , Trichomonas vaginalis , Dientamoeba fragilis , Blastocystis hominis , and Balantidium coli . While cultivation is of limited importance in the diagnostic laboratory, it is essential to most research laboratories, and it is toward the latter that this review is primarily aimed.
