Exoschizon
Exoschizon is a genus in the phylum Apicomplexa. It is the only genus in the family Exoschizonidae.
Exoschizonidae was described by Levine in 1971.
Exoschizon is the only genus currently recognised in the family Exoschizonidae. The genus has only one species - Exoschizon siphonosomae - which was described by Hukui in 1939.
This species was found in the intestine of a sipunculid worm (Siphonosoma cumanense) in Japan.
The meronts measure 90 µm × 15 µm. There are ~13 longitudinal striations per side.
The meronts and gamonts are similarly shaped.
Transmission is presumably by the orofaecal route.
