All species in this clade are

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.

The genus Eimeria with ~1500 species is the largest genus in this suborder.
