Skrjabinella is a genus of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa.
This genus was created by Matschoulsky in 1949. [1] The genus is named after the parasitologist Skrjabin.
There is currently only one species recognised in this genus - Skrjabinella mongolica.
This species was isolated from the faeces of the jerboa ( Allactaga saltator ). Transmission is presumably by the orofaecal route but very little is known about this species.
The oocysts have 16 sporocysts, each with one sporozoite.
