Octosporella (protozoa)
''Octosporella'' is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa. This genus has been poorly studied and little is known about it. Species in this genus infect fish, lizards and echidnas. History This genus was created in 1942 by Ray and Raghavachari.Ray, HN, Raghavachari K (1942) Observations on a new coccidium, ''Octosporella mabuiae'' ''n. gen''., ''n. sp''., from the intestine of ''Mabuia'' sp. Proceedings of the 28th Indian Science Congress 28: 170 Taxonomy The type species is ''Octosporella mabuiae''. Six species are currently recognised. Description The oocysts each have 8 Apicomplexa lifecycle stages, sporocysts. Each sporocyst has 2 sporozoites. References Apicomplexa genera {{Apicomplexa-stub ...

Eukaryota
Eukaryotes () are organisms whose Cell (biology), cells have a cell nucleus, nucleus. All animals, plants, fungi, and many unicellular organisms, are Eukaryotes. They belong to the group of organisms Eukaryota or Eukarya, which is one of the Three-domain system, three domains of life. Bacteria and Archaea (both prokaryotes) make up the other two domains. The eukaryotes are usually now regarded as having emerged in the Archaea or as a sister of the Asgard (archaea), Asgard archaea. This implies that there are only Two-domain system, two domains of life, Bacteria and Archaea, with eukaryotes incorporated among archaea. Eukaryotes represent a small minority of the number of organisms, but, due to their generally much larger size, their collective global biomass (ecology), biomass is estimated to be about equal to that of prokaryotes. Eukaryotes emerged approximately 2.3–1.8 billion years ago, during the Proterozoic eon, likely as Flagellated cell, flagellated phagotrophs. The ...
