Approximately 250 species of rumen ciliates have been described since 1843, when Gruby and Delafond found microorganisms living symbiotically with ruminant and pseudoruminant hosts. These microorganisms play important roles, from the degradation of fibers to the maintenance of the rumen microbial balance. However, knowledge about this eukaryotic group remains little understood, especially for hosts such as goats and remote regions such as Mozambique, thus, the aim of this thesis was to comprehend morphology, taxonomy, phylogeny and the relationships of endosymbiont ciliate protozoans of herbivorous mammals via an integrative approach of morphological, ecological, phylogenetic and molecular analyses. This work is organized into four ...
