Brown, 1951, are pathogenic ciliates that infect fresh-and saltwater fishes, respectively. This chapter reviews what is currently known about the pathobiology of both these parasites. In each section I. multifiliis is discussed first, followed by C. irritans. I. multifiliis, also referred to as Ich, is one of the most pathogenic protozoan parasites of fishes. There is no official record on the annual economic loss attributed to ichthyophthiriasis, even though it is considered to be a major problem in aquaculture (Hoffman, 1999). Epizootics were
