Haemosporidiasina Explained

Haemosporidiasina (Haemosporidia) is a subclass of apicomplexans described by Jacques Euzéby in 1988.^[1] The taxon is very similar to Aconoidasida.

  • Genus Echinozoon Garnham 1951
  • Genus Microbabesia Sohns 1918

  • Genus Toxocystis Henry 1910
  • Genus Trophosphaera du Toit 1938

Suborder Theileriina includes parasites of erythrocytes and diverse white blood cells with sexual reproduction by exoerythrocytic or by exo- and endoerythrocytic schizogony.

• Family Theileriidae du Toit 1918
