Mobilida is a group of parasitic or symbiotic peritrich ciliates, comprising more than 280 species.[1] Mobilids live on or within a wide variety of aquatic organisms, including fish, amphibians, molluscs, cnidarians, flatworms and other ciliates, attaching to their host organism by means of an aboral adhesive disk.[2][3][4] Some mobilid species are pathogens of wild or farmed fish, causing severe and economically damaging diseases such as trichodinosis.[5][6]
