Blastogregarinorina is a suborder of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexia
Taxonomy
This suborder currently has one family with one genus which contains one species Siedleckia caulleryi. This species is found in marine polychaetes.
History
This suborder was described by Chatton and Villeneuve in 1936[1]
Description
A mucron is present
Syzygy does not occur.
The gamonts are composed of a single structure without septa: they lack both protomerites and deutomerites.
Anisogamy — unequal sized gamonts — is present. Gamogony occurs with gamonts still attached to intestinal wall. The gametes bud off gamonts. Gametocysts are absent
There is no sporocyst.
The zygote gives rise to 10–16 oocysts.
