A Novel Parasitoid of Marine Dinoflagellates, Pararosarium dinoexitiosum gen. et sp. nov. (Perkinsozoa, Alveolata), Showing Characteristic Beaded Sporocytes
TLDR
The isolation and establishment in culture of the new parasitoid outside the family Parviluciferaceae in the present study would contribute to the better understanding of the diversity of Perkinsozoan parasites and provide useful material for comparisons to other parasite species in the further study.
Confirmation of the wide host range of Parvilucifera corolla (Alveolata, Perkinsozoa).
ife-cycle , ultrastructure , and phylogeny of Parvilucifera corolla sp . nov . Alveolata , Perkinsozoa ) , a parasitoid of dino fl agellates
TLDR
New species of the parasitoid genus Parvilucifera is described that was observed infecting the dinoflagellate Durinskia baltica in salt arshes of the Catalan coast and detected after the incubation of seawater rom the Canary Islands.
Life-cycle, ultrastructure, and phylogeny of Parvilucifera corolla sp. nov. (Alveolata, Perkinsozoa), a parasitoid of dinoflagellates.

Evolutionary Trends of Perkinsozoa (Alveolata) Characters Based on Observations of Two New Genera of Parasitoids of dinoflagellates, Dinovorax gen. nov. and Snorkelia gen. nov.
TLDR
A new species of a perkinsozoan endoparasitoid that infects the toxic dinoflagellate Dinophysis sacculus is described, by including observations of its morphology, ultrastructure, life-cycle development and phylogeny.
Characterization of the Parasitic Dinoflagellate Amoebophrya sp. Infecting Akashiwo sanguinea in Coastal Waters of China
TLDR
The high infectivity of dinospores suggests that the Amoebophrya strain was capable of removing a considerable fraction of host biomass within a short period, but that it is probably unable to maintain high infection levels under nonbloom conditions of its host, due to limited survival and time constraints in encountering host cells.
New Perkinsea Parasitoids of Dinoflagellates Distantly Related to Parviluciferaceae Members
TLDR
The findings from this study suggest that Perkinsea representatives infecting dinoflagellates are more widespread than previously thought.
Different life cycle strategies of the dinoflagellates Fragilidium duplocampanaeforme and its prey Dinophysis acuminata may explain their different susceptibilities to the infection by the parasite Parvilucifera infectans.

PATTERNS IN HOST RANGE FOR TWO STRAINS OF AMOEBOPHRYA (DINOPHYTA) INFECTING THECATE DINOFLAGELLATES: AMOEBOPHYRA SPP. EX ALEXANDRIUM AFFINE AND EX GONYAULAX POLYGRAMMA 1
TLDR
It is suggested that host specificity of Amoebophrya strains varies from extremely species‐specific to rather unspecific, with specificity being stronger for strains isolated from athecate hosts.
Molecular Phylogeny of Parvilucifera prorocentri (Alveolata, Myzozoa): Insights into Perkinsid Character Evolution
TLDR
Molecular phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that P. prorocentri branched as a sister lineage to a divergent clade consisting of Parvilucifera infectans and Parviluca sinerae, and built a more comprehensive framework for understanding the earliest stages in the evolution of myzozoans.
Discrimination of the toxigenic dinoflagellates Alexandrium tamarense and A. ostenfeldii in co-occurring natural populations from Scottish coastal waters
TLDR
RRNA probes for A. ostenfeldii are useful, albeit only semi-quantitative, tools to detect and discriminate these species in field studies in mixed Phytoplankton assemblages.
Parasites and Phytoplankton, with Special Emphasis on Dinoflagellate Infections1
TLDR
Parasitism needs to be carefully considered in developing concepts about plankton dynamics and the flow of material in marine food webs, as work indicates that these parasites can have significant impacts on host physiology, behavior, and bloom dynamics.
