Skrjabinella is a genus of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa.
History[]
This genus was created by Matschoulsky in 1949.[1] The genus is named after the parasitologist Skrjabin.
Taxonomy[]
There is currently only one species recognised in this genus - Skrjabinella mongolica.
Life cycle[]
This species was isolated from the faeces of the jerboa (). Transmission is presumably by the orofaecal route but very little is known about this species.
Description[]
The oocysts have 16 sporocysts, each with one sporozoite.
