Species
Orcheobius carinii Orcheobius herpobdellae

Orcheobius is a genus of parasitic protozoa of the phylum Apicomplexa.^[1]

History

The genus was created by Schuberg and Kunze in 1906.

The genus Cariniella was synonymised with Orcheobius by Levine in 1980.^[2]

Taxonomy

There are two species known in this genus.

Description

The oocysts have 25 or more sporocysts.

Each sporocyst produces 4 sporozoites.

The gamonts are elongated.

During syngny, four microgametes associate with the macrogamete. One microgamete penetrates the macrogamete and the remaining three die off.

Host records

O. carinii - frog (Leptodactylus ocellatus)

O. herpobdellae - leech (Herpobdella atomaria)
