Mantonella
''Mantonella'' is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa. This genus has been poorly studied and little is known about it. The type species is ''Mantonella peripati'' History This genus was created by Vincent in 1936.Vincent M (1936) Un nouveau type de coccidie des peripates. Comptes Rendus des Sciences de la Societe de Biologie (Paris) 122: 260-262 It was also recognised by Gousseff also in 1936 who proposed the name (synonym ''Yakimovella''.Gousseff WF (1936) XIII.-A new coccidium from crayfish. J Roy Microscop Soc 56: 326-327 The genus name ''Mantonella'' have been given precedence. Description The oocysts each have one sporocyst. Each sporocyst has four sporozoite Apicomplexans, a group of intracellular parasites, have life cycle stages that allow them to survive the wide variety of environments they are exposed to during their complex life cycle.

Eucoccidiorida
The Eucoccidiorida are an order of microscopic, spore-forming, single-celled parasites belonging to the apicomplexan class Conoidasida. Protozoans of this order include parasites of humans, and both domesticated and wild animals including birds. Among these parasites are the ''Toxoplasma gondii'' that cause toxoplasmosis and ''Isospora belli'', which results in isosporiasis. Definition This is the largest order in the class Conoidasida and contains those species that all undergo merogony (asexual), gametogony (sexual) and sporogony (spore formation) during their lifecycles. Genera Nineteen families, three subfamilies, and 70 genera are recognised in this order. The genera include: '' Adelea'', ''Adelina'', ''Aggregata'', '' Alveocystis'', '' Atoxoplasma'', '' Babesiosoma'', ''Barrouxia'', '' Bartazoon'', '' Besnoitia'', '' Calyptospora'', '' Caryospora'', '' Caryotropha'', '' Chagasella'', '' Choleoeimeria'', ''Cryptosporidium'', '' Crystallospora'', '' Cyclospora'', '' Cyrilia ...

Eimeriorina
Eimeriorina is a suborder of phylum Apicomplexa. All species in this clade are homoxenous or facultatively homoxenous. Merogony, gamogony and oocyst formation all occur within the same host. The hosts may be vertebrates or invertebrates. Erroneous identifications of species is a major problem in coccidian systematics and it is likely that some of the genera and species will be revised. Taxonomy There are 12 families, 2 subfamilies and 50 genera recognised in this suborder. The genus ''Eimeria'' with ~1500 species is the largest genus in this suborder. Notes One genus is entirely entomoxenous (parasitic on insects) — ''Barrouxia ''Barrouxia'' is a genus of parasitic alveolates belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa. This genus was created by Schneider in 1885.Levine ND (1983) The genera ''Barrouxia'', ''Defretinella'', and ''Goussia'' of the coccidian family Barrouxiidae ( ...''.

Sporozoite
Apicomplexans, a group of intracellular parasites, have life cycle stages that allow them to survive the wide variety of environments they are exposed to during their complex life cycle. Each stage in the life cycle of an apicomplexan organism is typified by a ''cellular variety'' with a distinct morphology and biochemistry. Not all apicomplexa develop all the following cellular varieties and division methods. This presentation is intended as an outline of a hypothetical generalised apicomplexan organism. Methods of asexual replication Apicomplexans (sporozoans) replicate via ways of multiple fission (also known as schizogony). These ways include , and , although the latter is sometimes referred to as schizogony, despite its general meaning. Merogony is an asexually reproductive process of apicomplexa. After infecting a host cell, a trophozoite ( see glossary below) increases in size while repeatedly replicating its nucleus and other organelles. During this process, the orga ...

Phylum
In biology, a phylum (; plural: phyla) is a level of classification or taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Traditionally, in botany the term division has been used instead of phylum, although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants accepts the terms as equivalent. Depending on definitions, the animal kingdom Animalia contains about 31 phyla, the plant kingdom Plantae contains about 14 phyla, and the fungus kingdom Fungi contains about 8 phyla. Current research in phylogenetics is uncovering the relationships between phyla, which are contained in larger clades, like Ecdysozoa and Embryophyta. General description The term phylum was coined in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel from the Greek (, "race, stock"), related to (, "tribe, clan"). Haeckel noted that species constantly evolved into new species that seemed to retain few consistent features among themselves and therefore few features that distinguished them as a group ("a self-contain ...
