History edit
This genus was created by Matschoulsky in 1949.[1] The genus is named after the parasitologist Skrjabin.
Taxonomy edit
There is currently only one species recognised in this genus - Skrjabinella mongolica.
Life cycle edit
This species was isolated from the faeces of the jerboa (Allactaga saltator). Transmission is presumably by the orofaecal route but very little is known about this species.
Description edit
The oocysts have 16 sporocysts, each with one sporozoite.
