Perkinsozoa
Perkinsozoa is a proposed phylum of intracellular parasites in the superphylum Alveolata, which was suggested to account for the genus '' Perkinsus'' and other protist species that do not fit into existing Alveolata phyla.

Parvilucifera
''Parvilucifera'' is a genus of marine alveolates that parasitise dinoflagellates. Parvilucifera is a parasitic genus described in 1999 by Norén et al. It is classified perkinsozoa in the supraphylum of Alveolates. This taxon serves as a sister taxon to the dinoflagellates and apicomplexans. Thus far, five species have been described in this taxon, which include: P.infectans, P.sinerae, P.corolla, P.rostrata, and P.prorocentri. The genus Parvilucifera is morphologically characterized by flagellated zoospore. The life cycle of the species in this genus consist of free-living zoospores, an intracellular stage called trophont, and asexual division to form resting sporangium inside host cell. This taxon has gained more interest in research due to its potential significance in terms of negative regulation for dinoflagellates blooms, that have proved harmful for algal species, humans, and the shellfish industry (Norén et al. 1999). History The genus was first described by Noren and ...

Perkinsus Marinus
''Perkinsus marinus'' is a species of alveolates belonging to the phylum Perkinsozoa.Joseph, S., et al. (2010)The alveolate ''Perkinsus marinus'': biological insights from EST gene discovery.''BMC Genomics'' 11(1), 228. It is similar to a dinoflagellate. It is known as a prevalent pathogen of oysters, causing massive mortality in oyster populations. The disease it causes is known as dermo or perkinsosis, and is characterized by the degradation of oyster tissues.Bower, S. MSynopsis of infectious diseases and parasites of commercially exploited shellfish: ''Perkinsus marinus'' ("dermo" disease) of oysters.Fisheries and Oceans Canada. 2011. The genome of this species has been sequenced. The species originally was named ''Dermocystidium marinum''. Taxonomy ''P. marinus'' is a protozoan of the protist superphylum Alveolata, the alveolates. Its phylum, Perkinsozoa, is a relatively new taxon positioned between the dinoflagellates and the Apicomplexa, and is probably more closely ...

Perkinsea
Perkinsea is a class of alveolates. Taxonomy '' Perkinsus'' is a genus Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nom ... in the class Perkinsea that is a parasite of bivalve molluscs; it displays a number of features characteristic of the dinoflagellates including laterally inserted heterodynamic flagella. However, it has been settled that '' Perkinsus'' does not belong into the phyla dinoflagellata, but rather into the phylum Perkinsozoa. Two other genera have been described in this class — '' Cryptophagus'' (now renamed '' Rastrimonas'') and '' Parvilucifera''. References Perkinsozoa Alveolata classes {{Alveolata-stub ...

Perkinsidae
Perkinsidae is a family of alveolates in the phylum Perkinsozoa, a sister group to the dinoflagellates.

Rastrimonas
''Rastrimonas'' is a monotypic genus of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa. It contains the single species ''Rastrimonas subtilis''. It was described in 2002 from the free-living cryptomonad The cryptomonads (or cryptophytes) are a group of algae, most of which have plastids. They are common in freshwater, and also occur in marine and brackish habitats. Each cell is around 10–50 μm in size and flattened in shape, with an anteri ...

Perkinsus
''Perkinsus'' is a genus of alveolates in the phylum Perkinsozoa. The genus was erected in 1978 to better treat its type species, ''Perkinsus marinus'', known formerly as ''Dermocystidium marinum''. These are parasitic protozoans that infect molluscs, at least some of which cause disease and mass mortality. ''P. marinus'' is the most notorious, causing the disease perkinsosis, or dermo, in wild and farmed oysters.Petty, D''Perkinsus'' Infections of Bivalve Molluscs.FA178. Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Florida Cooperative Extension Service. University of Florida IFAS. 2010. As of 2004, six valid species were in the genus. At least two more have been described since then. Species and common hosts include: *'' Perkinsus andrewsi'' on Baltic clam (''Macoma balthica'') *'' Perkinsus beihaiensis'' on the oysters '' Magallana hongkongensis'' and '' M. ariakensis'' *'' Perkinsus chesapeaki'' on soft-shell clam (''Mya arenaria'') *'' Perkinsus honshuensis'' on Manila clam (''Venerup ...

Phylum
In biology, a phylum (; plural: phyla) is a level of classification or taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Traditionally, in botany the term division has been used instead of phylum, although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants accepts the terms as equivalent. Depending on definitions, the animal kingdom Animalia contains about 31 phyla, the plant kingdom Plantae contains about 14 phyla, and the fungus kingdom Fungi contains about 8 phyla. Current research in phylogenetics is uncovering the relationships between phyla, which are contained in larger clades, like Ecdysozoa and Embryophyta. General description The term phylum was coined in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel from the Greek (, "race, stock"), related to (, "tribe, clan"). Haeckel noted that species constantly evolved into new species that seemed to retain few consistent features among themselves and therefore few features that distinguished them as a group ("a self-contained unity" ...
