Eimeriidae is a family of Apicomplexa. It contains the following genera:
Isospora hammondi is an apicomplexan parasite of the genus Isospora that infects the marsh rice rat. It was discovered at Tuskegee National Forest, Macon County, Alabama, and formally described in 1971. The specific name honors Dr. Datus M. Hammond of Utah State University.
Acroeimeria is a genus of parasites that contains those species which initially develop immediately beneath the brush-border of the intestinal epithelium, but the meronts and gamonts of which are early on extruded to form a layer on the surface of the gut mucosa. Morphologically they are similar to the Eimeria to which they are closely related. The genus was described in 1989 by Paperna and Landsberg.
Dorisiella is a genus of parasitic alveolates belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa. This genus was created in 1930 by Ray.
Defretinella is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa.
Gibbsia is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa.
Ganapatiella is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa.
Pythonella is a genus of parasitic alveolates belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa. This genus was created by Ray and Das-Gupta in 1937.
Klossiella is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa. Species in this genus infect the renal tract of mammals and intestinal tract of snakes.
Sivatoshella is a genus of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa.
Grasseella is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa.
Ovivora is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa.
Merocystis is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa.
Alveocystis is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa. Species in this genus infect worms of the family Priapuloidea and molluscs. This genus has been poorly studied and little is known about it.
Polysporella is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa. Species in this genus infect birds. This genus has been poorly studied and little is known about it.
Pseudoklossia is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa. Species in this genus infect marine molluscs, although one species infects in an ascidian worm. The life cycle is heteroxenous.
Merogregarina is a genus of parasitic alveolate in the phylum Apicomplexa. Species in this genus infect marine invertebrates.
The Diplocystidae are a family of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa.
Menzbieria is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa.
Electrovermis zappum is a species of fish blood fluke discovered in the Gulf of Mexico and described in 2019. It has been placed in a new genus, Electrovermis. This parasite infects the lesser electric ray. Once it successfully invades the host, it migrates to and dwells in the lumen of the heart of the ray. Like other blood flukes, it thrives by feeding off of the blood of its host. The adults are morphologically and physiologically similar to other blood flukes that infect rays such as Orchispirium heterovitellatum. Unlike many other blood flukes that infect molluscs as an intermediate host, E. zappum infects bivalves such as clams. Both the rays and clams densely populate warm, shallow intertidal marine waters, which provide the parasite an opportunistic environment to carry out its life cycle stages.
