Cnidospora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cnidospora is a defunct subphylum of microscopic spore-forming parasites in the defunct phylum Protozoa. The subphylum was divided into two classes,[1] the Myxosporidea (now classified as higher-animals, i.e. Metazoa[2]) and the Microsporidea (now classified as fungi).
