Eimeriorina is a suborder of phylum Apicomplexa.[1][2]
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.
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.
The taxonomic status of Atoxoplasma remains unclear.
