Rumen ciliate composition was surveyed on the Mongolian gazelle, Procapra gutturosa in Inner-Mongolia, China. As a result of survey, 4 species belonging to the genus Entodinium, E. convexum, E. dubardi, E. nanellum and E. exiguum, were detected. All the ciliates were devoid of caudal appendages. Of the species detected, E. convexum was found from all the hosts with a relatively high composition rate of 53.0-100.0%. The ciliate density ranged from 12.3 to 67.7 x 10(4), with an average of 24.8 x 10(4) per 1 ml of the rumen fluid.
对中国内蒙古地区的黄羊（普氏原羚）瘤胃纤毛虫组成进行了调查。调查结果显示，共检测到内毛虫属的4个物种，即凸面内毛虫、杜氏内毛虫、微小内毛虫和小型内毛虫。所有纤毛虫均无尾状附属物。在所检测到的物种中，凸面内毛虫在所有宿主体内均有发现，其组成率相对较高，为53.0%-100.0%。纤毛虫密度范围为12.3至67.7×10⁴个/毫升瘤胃液，平均每1毫升瘤胃液中有24.8×10⁴个。
