Kingdom
Protista
Consists of four subgroups of eukaryotic creatures known as algae, protozoa, slime molds, and water molds
Subkingdom
Protozoa
Also known as "first animal"
Phylum
Apicomplexa
A collection of about 4,000 known species of protists that contain an apical complex of microtubules within the cell
Class
Sporozoasida
A large class of protozoans consisting of obligatory parasites with simple spores lacking polar filaments; cilia and flagella are absent, and locomotion is by undulation, gliding, or body flexion; sexuality, when present is by singly, forming oocysts with infective sporozoites from sporogony
Order
Eucoccidiorida
Microscopic, spore-forming, single-celled parasites that includes parasites of humans, and both domesticated and wild animals
Family
Sarcocystidae
Associate with a variety of diseases in humans and other animals
Genus
