Samples of feces from 1,080 cattle than in Chonnam area were examined for Buxtonella sulcata. Of these, 231 cattle (21.4%) were found to be infected with the ciliate. The incidence was higher in the dairy cattle in the beef cattle. The cysts of the ciliate were almost spherical or sub-spherical and the mean length of 79.58 +- 11.76 micro m corresponds quite closely with the mean width of 77.29 +- 11.41 micro m. The trophozoite was characterized by the position of the cytostome near the open cytopyge and by the curved groove running down from cytostome to the end of the body
