Haemosporidiasina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Haemosporidia)
Haemosporidiasina (Haemosporidia) is a subclass of apicomplexans described by Jacques Euzéby in 1988[1] that is not widely used by biologists. The taxon is very similar to the taxon of Aconoidasida.
[edit] Taxonomy
Haemosporidiasina is divided into 2 orders:
- Order Chromatorida (with pigmented intraerythrocytic parasites)
- Suborder Laveraniina
- Family Plasmodiidae
- Family Haemoproteidae
- Suborder Laveraniina
- Order Achromatorida (with non-pigmented intraerythrocytic parasites)
- Suborder Babesiina includes agents of piroplasmosis sensu stricto
- Family Babesiidae This family excludes species that undergo schizogony in lymphocytes before parasitizing erythrocytes: such species belong to the genus Theileria
- Genus Babesia Starcovici 1893
- Genus Entopolypoides Mayer 1933
- Genus Echinozoon Garnham 1951
- Genus Microbabesia Sohns 1918
