Dermocystidium is a genus of cyst-forming,

eukaryotic fish parasites,[2] the causative agents of dermocystidiosis
.

Taxonomic history

The genus Dermocystidium was described in 1907. It was previously thought to be a genus of fungal parasites, related to the

sporozoan
protist.

It was subsequently identified as one of a group of fish parasites (the "DRIP clade") of previously uncertain affiliation, which were later identified as nonanimal, nonfungal

bacterium and an alveolate, respectively: Sayre, Gherna and Wergin (1983) concluded that Dermocystidium daphniae was likely identical to Pasteuria ramosa Metchnikoff, 1888,[4] while D. marinum has been reclassified as Perkinsus marinus.[5]

The frog parasite Dermocystidium ranae has recently been segregated as Amphibiocystidium ranae.[6]
