History
This genus was created by Ashford in 1965.[1]
Taxonomy
There is one species in this genus.
Life cycle
This genus infects the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum.
The sporozoites enter the host by the oral route, usually by ingestion of contaminated food but also by cannibalism of an infected host.
Infection with this genus increases larval mortality and interferes with normal development.

gollark: Not necessarily.
gollark: You can actually quite easily track down the location of a GPS server (they broadcast it after all) so you could automatically nuke any GPS.
gollark: Oddly, yes.
