I'm working on the classification of these protozoa. many of the species listed under related infect blood cells but are currently classified in a different branch of the apicomplexia. This section may perhaps be better classified as 'Other parasites infecting blood cells.'
The literature on these organisms is not well organised and its proving tricky to sort this out. DrMicro 20:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Other taxa edit
At present there are a number of taxa that do not strictly belong on this page. They have been placed here on a temporary basis until I or some one else can figure out where they belong in the taxonomy of this phylum.
While other there have been proposals after Euzéby's these have been less complete and have focused either on the relations of this phylum with other organisms or on a number of taxa within this phylum. It seems unlikely that Euzéby's taxonomy will be completely vindicated when (?if) molecular studies are completed on all the genera in this phylum. However at present it is the most comprehensive that has been proposed to date and for this reason it remains useful.
As noted earlier the taxonomy of this phylum is a horrible mess with descriptions of the genera scattered in multiple different journals. Please tolerate these extraneous taxa being located here until the relevant pages have been created on wikipedia. DrMicro (talk) 23:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- Having reviewed the material on WP I now think it is reasonable to delete the other familes from the taxonomy here. These are listed in the article on Haemospororida. The taxonomy criteria for inclusion in this family should stay. DrMicro (talk) 17:44, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
