Diaspora (Apicomplexa)

Diaspora hydatidea Diaspora is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa, first described by Leger in 1898.

[1] There is one species in this genus - Diaspora hydatidea.

This species was isolated from a millipede (Polydesmus species) This genus was created for those Eimeriidae whose oocysts are unknown but have sporocysts each containing a single sporozoite.

As such it is poorly defined and may be revised in the future.
