Adelea is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa.
The name is derived from the Greek word adēlos (meaning unseen)
The genus was created by Mesnili.
Adelea together with the genera Adelina and Ithania form the subfamily Ithaniinae . This subfamily was created in 1947 by Ludwig to accommodate these genera of eimeria that share certain morphological features and infect the digestive tracts of insects. [1] The genus Adelina was created by Hesse in 1911 because of morphological differences between the species.
The species in this genus are parasitic on arthropods and have two sporozoites in each sporocyst.
During syngny, four microgametes associate with the macrogamete. One microgamete penetrates the macrogamete and the remaining three die off.
Trypanosomatida is a group of kinetoplastid excavates distinguished by having only a single flagellum. The name is derived from the Greek trypano (borer) and soma (body) because of the corkscrew-like motion of some trypanosomatid species. All members are exclusively parasitic, found primarily in insects. A few genera have life-cycles involving a secondary host, which may be a vertebrate, invertebrate or plant. These include several species that cause major diseases in humans.
The opalines are a small group of peculiar heterokonts, currently assigned to the family Opalinidae, in the order Slopalinida. Their name is derived from the opalescent appearance of these microscopic organisms when illuminated with full sunlight. Most opalines live as endocommensals in the large intestine and cloaca of anurans, though they are sometimes found in fish, reptiles, molluscs and insects. The unusual features of the opalines, first observed by Antoine van Leeuwenhoek in 1683, has led to much debate regarding their phylogenetic position among the protists.
Gelechioidea is the superfamily of moths that contains the case-bearers, twirler moths, and relatives, also simply called curved-horn moths or gelechioid moths. It is a large and poorly understood '"micromoth" superfamily, constituting one of the basal lineages of the Ditrysia.
The Plasmodiidae are a family of apicomplexan parasites, including the type genus Plasmodium, which is responsible for malaria. This family was erected in 1903 by Mesnil and is one of the four families in the order Haemospororida.
The Streblidae are a family of flies in the superfamily Hippoboscoidea, and together with their relatives the Nycteribiidae, are known as bat flies. They are winged or wingless ectoparasites of bats, and often have long legs. They appear to be host-specific, with different species of bat flies occurring only on particular species of bat hosts, sometimes with multiple species of flies sharing a host bat.
Araucania is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae, found in South America. There are at least two described species in Araucania.
Adeleorina is a suborder of parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa.
Diplosentidae is a family of parasitic worms from the order Echinorhynchida.
Bothrideridae is a family of beetles in the suborder Polyphaga. They are known commonly as the cocoon-forming beetles or dry bark beetles. They occur worldwide with most native to the Old World tropics.
Cyrilia is a genus of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexia. The genus was created by Lainson in 1981. Species in this genus infect fresh water fish and are transmitted by leeches.
Adelina is a genus of alveolates within the phylum Apicomplexa. They are coccidian parasites of arthropods and oligochaetes. Host orders include Coleoptera, Diptera, Collembola, Embioptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera.
Selenococcidium is a genus of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa. There is one recognised species in this genus - Selenococcidium intermedium. This species infects the intestinal tract of European lobsters.
Ithania is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa.
Angeiocystis is a genus of parasitic alveolate eukaryotes belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa.
Barrouxia is a genus of parasitic alveolates belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa.
Ganapatiella is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa.
Orcheobius is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa.
Mattesia is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa. Species in this genus infect insects.
Trichodoridae is a family of terrestrial root feeding nematodes, being one of two that constitute suborder Triplonchida. They are economically important plant parasites and virus vectors.
The Monocystinae are a subfamily of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa.
