Eimeriorina is a suborder of phylumApicomplexa.[1][2]
All species in this clade arehomoxenous or facultatively homoxenous.Merogony,gamogony andoocyst formation all occur within the same host. The hosts may bevertebrates orinvertebrates.
Erroneous identifications of species is a major problem incoccidian systematics and it is likely that some of the genera and species will be revised.
There are 12 families, 2 subfamilies and 50 genera recognised in this suborder.
The genusEimeria with ~1500 species is the largest genus in this suborder.
One genus is entirelyentomoxenous (parasitic on insects) —Barrouxia.
The taxonomic status ofAtoxoplasma remains unclear.
