==Order Mobilida== The other peritrichs make up the order [[Mobilida]]. In these the posterior of the cell is enlarged and modified to form a complex holdfast, allowing the cell to temporarily attach to some host organism. Most live on the integument or gills of freshwater and marine invertebrates, but other hosts occur, including fish and even other ciliates, and other locations as well. Some can be pathogenic for fish.<ref>{{Cite journal|vauthors=Esch GW, Hazen TC, Dimock RV, Gibbons JW | year=1976 | title=Thermal effluent and the epizootiology of the ciliate ''Epistylis'' and the bacterium ''Aeromonas'' in association with centrarchid fish | journal = Transactions of the American Microscopical Society | volume=95 | issue=4 | pages=687β693| doi=10.2307/3225393 | jstor=3225393 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Pickering|first1=A.
