New gregarine species (Apicomplexa) from tunicates show an evolutionary history of host switching and suggest a problem with the systematics of Lankesteria and Lecudina
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology(2021)
Abstract
•New gregarine parasites (Apicomplexa) were discovered from sea squirts.•Species were described using morphology and SSU rDNA.•Data revealed a history of host switching.•Two major genera were found to be taxonomically problematic.
