The phylum Perkinsozoa is known as an exclusively parasitic group including the parasites of shellfish, fish, dinoflagellates, cryptophytes, and tadpoles and at present comprises seven genera across three families (Parviluciferaceae, Perkinsidae, and Xcellidae), with the genus Parvilucifera having...
Although it was recently proposed that the genus Perkinsus belongs to a new phylum, Perkinsozoa, in the infra-kingdom Alveolata, there remain different opinions about whether this genus should form a phylum on its own and consequently divergent views about its taxonomic characterization. In this ...

DinoflagellatesParasiteParviluciferaPerkinsozoaMarine parasites of the genus Parvilucifera have been described as endoparasitoids of dinoflagellates. Recently, the species Parvilucifera corolla was described, but its host range was not examined. Here, the host selectivity of P. corolla was screened, ...
In Perkinsozoa, there have been until now no reports about the isolation of mitochondria as well as no conclusive results about the presence of any plastids, therefore a comparison with the data already obtained in Apicomplexa and Dinoflagellata has not yet been possible. In this work, we ...

Perkinsozoasecrete several classes of proteases which facilitate the digestion of host tissues. The host can respond by producing protease inhibitors and by mounting cellular immune responses as defence strategies. The impacts of infectious diseases on mollusc populations may be mediated by a variety of...
Members of the family Parviluciferaceae (Alveolata, Perkinsozoa) are the well-known dinoflagellate parasitoids along with Amoebophrya ceratii species complex and parasitic chytrid Dinomyces arenysensis and contain six species across three genera (i.e., Parvilucifera infectans, P. sinerae, P. ...

PerkinsozoaMarineParasitesBackground In Norway, x-cell parasites associated with disease in farmed salmonids have been known as a rare phenomenon for two decades. These parasites cause systemic infections in farmed rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) and Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ), but have...
