[Evolutionary complication of life cycles in Coccidea (Sporozoa: Coccidea)]
Abstract:
Similar strategies to preserve a species were evolved independently in different groups of Coccidea. Polyenergid oocysts and tissue cysts are found in representatives of the orders Protococcidiida and Eimeriida. Hypnozoits are found in Karyolysus lacerate and Plasmodium vivax; transovarial transmission of parasites occurs in life cycles of Coccidea of the genera Karyolysis and Babesia. Formation of heteroxenity in groups of Coccidea apparently was developed by different ways and in different periods. In some groups (Cystoisospora, Toxoplasma, Aggregata, Atoxoplasma, Schelackia, Lankesterella, and Calyptospora), recent definitive hosts were initial hosts; in other groups (Sarcocystis, Karyolysus, Haemogregarina, Hepatozoon, Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, Leucytozoon, Babesiosoma, Theileria, and Babesia), intermediate hosts were initial hosts.
