Perkinsozoa

Perkinsozoa
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
(unranked):	SAR
(unranked):	Alveolata
Phylum:	Perkinsozoa; Norén & Moestrup, 1999

Perkinsozoa is a proposed phylum of intracellular parasites in the superphylum Alveolata,[1] which was suggested to account for the genus Perkinsus and other protist species that do not fit into existing Alveolata phyla.[2]

Members

Members of this phylum include Perkinsus marinus, Perkinsus olseni and the genus Parvilucifera.[2]

Characteristics

Perkinsozoa have been found in marine[2] and limnic environments.[3]
