Parabasalia
Sign in to saveAlso known as Parabasalidea, parabasalids
The parabasalids are a group of flagellated protists within the supergroup Excavata. Most of these eukaryotic organisms form a symbiotic relationships with animals. These include a variety of forms found in the intestines of termites and cockroaches, many of which have symbiotic bacteria that help them digest cellulose in woody plants. Other species within this supergroup are known parasites and include human pathogens.

パラバサリア（Parabasalia）は鞭毛虫型の原生動物の一群で、大部分が寄生性の生活を営む。特にシロアリやゴキブリの消化管内に棲むものは多彩な外見をしており、さらに自分自身の細胞内にも共生バクテリアを保持して宿主の食物消化を補助している。 パラバサリア類、パラベイサル、副基体類（ふくきたいるい）とも呼ぶ。 かつては、昆虫の寄生虫として知られる超鞭毛虫類と、哺乳類を主な宿主とするトリコモナス類とに大別されていた。後者にはヒトの病原体として知られている種も含まれた。
