Contents

Taxonomy

There is one species - Fusiona geusi - in this genus. This species infects bees.

History

This genus was created in 1965 by Stejskal. [1]

Description

Species in this family are homoxenous.

Gametocytes - not described

Spores - not described

Both gamonts and trophozoites are septate. The gamonts are morphologically different (anisogamous).

Sexual reproduction involves a cephalocaudal association. During syzygy the nucleus and entrocyte of the satellite move to the primite where they fuse.

<i>Hepatozoon</i> Genus of single-celled organisms

Hepatozoon is a genus of Apicomplexa alveolates which incorporates over 300 species obligate intraerythrocytic parasites. Species have been described from all groups of tetrapod vertebrates, as well as a wide range of haematophagous arthropods, which serve as both the vectors and definitive hosts of the parasite. By far the most biodiverse and prevalent of all haemogregarines, the genus is distinguished by its unique reciprocal trophic lifecycle which lacks the salivary transmission between hosts commonly associated with other apicomplexans. While particularly prevalent in amphibians and reptiles, the genus is more well known in veterinary circles for causing a tick-borne disease called hepatozoonosis in some mammals.
