Hyaloklossia

Hyaloklossia is a genus of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa. Only two species in this genus are currently recognised.

Hyaloklossia lieberkuehni (type species) was first observed by Lieberkuhn in 1854 within the renal cortex of a frog of the genus Rana. Labbe in 1894 initially named this species Klossia lieberkuehni. Labbe in 1896 moved this species to a new genus Hyaloklossia.

Laveran and Mesnil in 1902 and Minchin in 1903 moved this species into the genus Diplospora Labbe 1893. It was moved again into the genus Isospora by Noller in 1923.

The species was replaced in the genus Hyaloklossia by Modry et al. in 2001.

There are two sporocysts within the oocysts. The oocysts have a thin, elastic, relatively fragile wall.

The sporocysts are tetrazoic. The sporocyst wall is composed of plates joined by sutures and Stieda and substieda bodies are absent.

The life cycle is homoxenous.

Endogenous development is extraintestinal (renal). Sporulation of oocysts is endogenous.
