Gregarines: "primitive" apicomplexans or highly sophisticated parasites?
Original language description
Gregarines (Apicomplexa), comprising archigregarines, eugregarines and neogregarines, are thought to be a group of deep-branching apicomplexans which parasitize invertebrates and urochordates, and that are usually considered to be of no practical importance. Recent phylogenetic analyses, however, have pointed out thein close affinity with Cryptosporidium, and have drawn attention to this enigmatic group. Additional ultrastructural analyses revealed that cryptosporidian attachment strategy is very similar to that of the eugregarines. Gregarines exhibit an enormous diversity in cell architecture and dimensions, depending on their parasitic strategy and environment. There are several known attachment and development strategies in gregarines, and thus theysignificantly differ also in their nutritive requirements and pathogenic effect on host organism. The gregarine sporozoite transforms into a trophozoite, which represents the most conspicuous stage in gregarine lifecycle.
