Taxonomy
Currently, there is only one species recognised in this genus.
Life cycle
This species infects the gastrointestinal tract of polychaete worms. It is not known if it has any other host.
The parasite infects the cells of the gut wall. The oocysts have a thin membrane-like wall. Each sporocyst gives rise to 12 sporozoites
Host records
Eupolymnia nebulosa. This worm of the family Terebellidae was previously known as Polymnia nebulosa but this is now regarded as a junior synonym.
gollark: That's harder to do given the base's nonlinear 3D layout half of which now isn't suitable for cabling due to aesthetics, annoyingly.
gollark: What machine is it?
gollark: I'm mostly concerned about the fact that I'm trying to spread out the base a bit, and without any control this will inetvitably result in a Mess\™.
gollark: I think my phytogenic insolation system almost does that.
gollark: I basically just meant "standard design and location for a common group of cables for in-base systems".
